Fall-Foliage Trips In California and Around the Country
Here's your guide and interactive map to fall foliage trips, including in nearby Ortega Highway.
Fall-foliage trips are as essential a part of American autumns as pumpkins and pigskin. To help you decide exactly where to go, Patch's sister site, MapQuest, presents LeafQuest. They've selected three prime leaf-peeping spots in each of 49 states plus Washington, D.C.
Search the national (and navigable) map of our 150 fall-foliage suggestions, or browse by state. And be sure to check out homages to autumn by two-time-Pulitzer-nominee Joyce Millman (California), Atlantic entertainment-columnist James Parker (Massachusetts) and ex-Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer (Michigan).
