Plan Your Fall Color Photography With This Prediction Map
For the best fall color images, you want to arrive on location just in time for “peak” color. Doing your homework and planning your trip accordingly greatly improves your chances of witnessing and capturing the full display of autumn hues.
The interactive Fall Foliage Prediction Map at smokeymountains.com provides a nationwide forecast with a slider control to check specific dates.
