This map is an estimate of fall foliage conditions on the posted date. All maps are updated daily to reflect deviations from normal due to real-time weather conditions.

Use the Virginia fall foliage map to follow color across the Blue Ridge, Shenandoah Valley, Appalachian highlands, Piedmont, and coastal plain. Virginia has strong west-to-east and elevation-driven timing differences, so the best color may move from mountain ridges toward lower valleys through the season.

Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Charlottesville, Roanoke, Lexington, and the Virginia Highlands are especially useful areas to watch. Oaks, maples, hickories, and sweetgums create different color mixes from mountain forests to urban parks.

Use this map to compare broad timing, then search a specific destination with the fall foliage forecast. A windy or rainy front can shorten peak color on exposed ridges, while protected valleys may hold color longer.
