New England’s fall foliage is back and drawing leaf-peepers from around the world

Weather conditions associated with climate change have disrupted some recent leaf-peeping seasons.

New England leaf-watching season is in full swing, as people from as far as Florida and Berlin flock to the region for scenic drives, train rides and bus tours to soak in the splendid hues of red, orange and bronze. With quaint towns and covered bridges scattered through swaths of changing forest, the rural Northeast provides an ideal setting to view nature’s annual show.
