Best Places for Fall Leaves

The destination spots below are written by the Farmers Almanac.

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, Missouri

Dogwood Canyon Nature Park is located within the Ozarks. There is an admittance fee to enter the park ($10 per adult) but the scenery is absolutely worth it. You’ll be able to hike down trails lined with gorgeous sheer rock walls, topped and surrounded by colorful trees. There are waterfalls galore and other breathtaking natural features. In addition to hiking tours, visitors can also ride horses through the park, go biking, or even take tours by tram and Segway. And after you work up an appetite from all that leaf peeping, enjoy lunch or dinner at the park’s on-site restaurant, which lets you take in the fall colors and stunning waterfalls right from the dining room. Peak Viewing Times: Last Week of October and 1st Week of November .

Hawksbill Crag, Whitaker Point, The Ozark National Forest, Arkansas

Hawksbill Crag of the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area of the Ozark National Forest is easily one of the most photographed and recognizable features in Arkansas. It’s an easy 3.0-mile round trip hike and offers scenic vistas, huge boulders, beautiful waterfalls, and colorful wildflowers. A little difficult to find from the road, but so worth it. Some of the best vistas anywhere. Peak Viewing: October 12 - 28.
