The Whiteface Region typically reaches peak fall foliage in late September or during the last two weeks of September. However, the exact timing can vary depending on local weather conditions and the first frost of the season, which can trigger more color change. To stay up to date and plan your fall getaway, consult our foliage report, updated weekly.

Anywhere in the region, you'll find incredible views of foliage. Hiking trails can offer some of the best views from the highest points around. A fan-favorite viewing location is Whiteface Mountain, using the Whiteface Veterans' Memorial Highway, or taking the Cloudsplitter Gondola up to the summit. Here you can bask in 360 degree views of beautiful fall colors. 

The Adirondacks in fall can have a wide range of weather patterns, sometimes multiple in one day. Before and during your trip, its best to consult the weather app for unforseen changes and trail conditions. If you get rained out, there's still tons to do indoors all around!

There's still so much to explore around peak foliage. Consider adventuring on the The NY Fiber Trail, a state-wide self-guided tour with stops at farms, shops, and artist’s studios, including a stop in the Whiteface Region. Perfect for knitters, crochet devotees, felt fanatics, and more, you'll have a blast discovering the farms and creators of the region!
