Peak fall colors in North Carolina occur from late September to mid November, depending on the elevation. The further west into the mountains, the earlier the peak fall colors, and the lower and more easterly, the later.
This is the beginning of an array of photos of fall colors in North Carolina. We’ll be adding photos as member of our audience and community share theirs. So if you have photos of fall colors in NC that you’d like to share we’d be delighted to add them here.
You can send them to us via email. Please include whatever caption you’d like to include, such as the kind of tree of plant, the region and approximate date, to help travelers identify optimal peak fall colors in North Carolina. If you have a website or social page you’re welcome to include that as well and we’ll add it as tribute.
This photo is the back of our old house in the woods to share some wonderful fall colors in North Carolina. This is the view of our house from LeAura’s mother’s driveway next door. As you can see, we’re deep in the woods, but the loss of leaves is great for fall gardening here in zone 7a.
Subsequently, the fall garden greens are thriving, so too the sturdier herbs like rosemary, lemon balm and parsley.
