The Adirondack Mountains are famed for their fall colors, and many folks think Lake Placid is the place to experience autumn foliage. Red and silver maples, birch, aspen, oaks, and beech trees stretch out along the Olympic Trail scenic highway, providing a striking show of color for its 170 mile length. Or take the Fall Foliage Train tour on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. Prime viewing time tends to be in early to mid-October, which conveniently coincides with the Lake Placid Brewfest.
Fall Leaves
Have your camera ready because the Adirondack fall foliage is here! The Adirondack Park provides excellent fall foliage viewing because the deciduous tree population is dominated by only a few species, which all change colors more or less in unison. This provides all-over color at one peak time, which is rare in other parts of the world.
Adirondack fall foliage is always difficult to report or predict with 100% accuracy because the region is so vast and there are so many factors. Sunlight and the length of days are responsible for when trees show their yellows, oranges, and reds. The frosts and cold snaps determine the intensity of the deep reds and purples.
Looking for a great way to see the fall foliage? The Adirondacks offer hiking and biking opportunities to suit every skill level, and for the less adventurous, Rail Explorers offers rail bike tours along the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The trip provides glimpses of rivers, wildlife, and of course brilliant fall foliage along the way! Get ready for the tour's fall schedule, which will run until November 1, 2016.
