You can view the color changes in many areas of the country. The peak season in most places lasts about a week, but in mountain ranges, such as the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, the peak season can last a month. So when you choose your travel destination, consider the length of your vacation and other places you want to visit in the area.
 
You will need to keep your plans flexible because the weather determines the exact date of the peak season in every area. You can observe several factors in the various regions to calculate how colorful the peak season might be and when peak season might occur in those areas.

Places to Visit Along Interstate-90 in Massachusetts From East to West

Summer is the peak season for tourism in Massachusetts. So, to avoid crowds, try visiting in the spring or fall. Naturally, winter can be cold and the amount of snowfall varies. If you visit in autumn, you'll enjoy the added bonus of the colorful fall foliage. The best time to view the fall colors is from mid-September until Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day which is the second Monday in October.

If you want to see the historic sites in Massachusetts, you might think your trip would be more meaningful around Independence Day, but you're more likely to be able to take your time exploring at other times of the year.
