October in Upstate New York means Mother Nature is about to put on one heck of a show. The colors of the fall foliage Upstate are second to none. Yellows and greens more vibrant than you’ve ever seen and reds and oranges in hues you didn’t know existed, all paint the scenery in every direction you look. It’s a stunning sight and one you won’t have long to take in. The season for the color change is short – generally mid-October – and only a few weeks from the beginning to barren end. A road trip around Upstate is the best way to take it all in to ensure you see all the best electric vistas. Below, highlights from the road trip!
