New Hampshire Fall Color
Use the New Hampshire fall foliage map to follow changing color across the White Mountains, Lakes Region, Monadnock Region, and southern valleys. The map shows estimated daily foliage conditions and peak timing so you can compare where color is building, where it is near peak, and where it may already be past peak.
New Hampshire's terrain creates sharp differences over short distances. Franconia Notch, Crawford Notch, the Kancamagus Highway, Mount Washington, North Conway, and Jackson often change earlier than lower areas near Lake Winnipesaukee or the Merrimack Valley, especially when cool nights arrive in the mountains first.
