Western New York might be “past peak” for fall foliage, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still leaf peeping to be done! You can still get a good glimpse of the autumnal glory in several spots around Buffalo. This dreamy road trip will take you to the best fall foliage in all of Buffalo and Western New York. Buckle up and get ready for a beautiful ride!
The Park is beautiful year-round, but it's especially jaw-dropping in the fall. Grab a latte from one of our favorite coffee shops and start things slow before you take off on your trip!

Head South to Ellicottville to see what the fall fuss is all about!
We've dubbed the EVL as the best town to visit near Buffalo this autumn, and we stand by our decision! This town is bursting at the seams with beautiful foliage, local shops, great restaurants, and so much more. Stay as long as you want... just be sure you save time in your schedule for the next stop on our list!
If Ellcottville is the best town in the fall, Letchworth wins for the best views. This State Park is known for its camping, hiking, and stunning scenery. Lace up your sneakers or hiking boots and take time to explore every nook and cranny of this amazing place!
Take the scenic route and enjoy the ride to your next step!
Once you're done soaking in the beauty from the falls and trails at Letchworth, head north to hit the next town on your day trip. Medina, NY is one of the most overlooked and underrated towns in Western New York, but we can't seem to stop singing its praises! Grab a bite to eat at one of Medina's many amazing restaurants, check out the local cafe, and order a glass of mead (unless you're the driver, of course). Then, buckle back up and get ready for your final fall foliage stop!
Your final stop at Niagara Falls is last, but certainly not least!
It sounds cliche, but hear us out. Niagara Falls in the fall is mesmerizing! The crisp autumn air, crashing of the falls, and views of surrounding foliage make for the quintessential fall backdrop for a perfect day. Before you head back home, be sure to check out some of Niagara Falls' best hidden gems.
