This Dreamy Road Trip Will Take You To The Best Fall Foliage In All Of Dallas – Fort Worth
Texas has forests? Of course we do, and if you haven’t ventured through them then you have never truly experienced all that the Lone Star State has to offer. Fall brings a bold palette of colors and breathtaking scenery to the already picturesque East Texas woodlands. The cities of Athens and Palestine have partnered together to plan out a 145-mile scenic driving trail in Texas’ Forest Trail Region along spectacular fall-immersed highways and roads connecting the two cities.

The fall display typically peaks in mid- to-late November, but that doesn't mean there won't be beautiful changes occurring before or after.
