Do you love Arizona’s fall colors as much as we do?! Then get ready for one of the brightest and boldest displays of color we’ve seen in recent years! Forecasts for the upcoming fall foliage views indicate we’re in for a fall explosion. Take a peek below to find out when the colors are expected to be at their peak where you live…
Autumn is an ideal time of year to find adventure all over Arizona. Whether you're exploring the floor of one of the many canyons, or hiking to the summit of a mountain, this is the year for outrageous colors.
If you're eager to start planning a getaway or just want to know when the show begins in your own back yard, the predictions for timing in Northern and Southern Arizona will vary slightly, as they always do.
In Northern and Central Arizona expect the optimal viewing times to occur right around October 15, and perhaps into the week of October 22. During this time, the San Francisco Peaks and everything north of them will be filled with the bright colors of the new season.
While no predictions or timelines can be 100% accurate, SmokyMountains.com's annual fall foliage prediction map is relied upon each year by many travelers in planning fall getaways at just the precise time to see the magnificent change of season — at just the right time.
