Think of it this way. If you were given an all expense paid vacation to visit a forest during the fall leaf-viewing season, which one of these trips would you choose. Please vote using the attached poll for either your favorite leaf viewing spot or a vacation you would most like to take.
I also give you another way to interact. If you have a favorite leaf peeping vacation you would rather do but is not included in my poll, you can include your favorite at the very bottom of this blog in the comments section. Also, send me an email photo attachment in support of your pick.
I will consolidate all comments and consider changes if another area is highly promoted. The comment section is reserved for anyone who has a perfect fall forest vacation that is not on the list I have provided. Make a good case for your favorite and I will add it to the list. A good photo you have taken would help your cause.
I also make this a little easier by giving you some detailed information on each fall color vacation listed in the poll. Read my report on the initial list of top ten best places to view autumn leaves.

What? No Finger Lakes Region of New York State?
What about the North Shore drive from Duluth to Grand Portage, in Minnesota? This travels along the rocky North shore of Lake superior, which is beautiful in itself. Add the fall colors and it’s like having fall colors along the Big Sur. p.s. I agree on the Finger Lakes region too.
just back from a few days in ne new mexico; eagle nest, angel fire, taos, red river ….. the aspen and sumac were as vivid as any i have seen …. wonderful. rlg, amarillo, texas
Unfortunately you did not list West Virginia.
WV is one of the most overlooked states for beauty and splendor.
The tranquility and serene mountains of the Mountain State are very pleasing.
I vote for West Virginia as my favorite place to see Fall Foliage!

Parke County, Indiana is home to the Covered Bridge Festival starting the 2nd Friday of October and runs for 10 days. This is a wonderful Midwest outing and the maple tree displays are magnificent!
