Autumn, or Fall as the locals prefer, is the most amazing time to visit the USA and now there’s a handy web tool to help plan your perfect trip.

There’s a magical period when the leaves turn from the rich greens of the summer, through hues of yellow, orange and reds before falling to the ground in readiness for Winter. Between September and November you can tour the USA, filling your Instagram feed with a rich tapestry of natural wonder.

With the best viewing in areas of interesting topography you’ll find yourself far from the arrow-straight Interstates and onto winding roads that will challenge your driving and your photographic skills alike.

New England is the best known region for leaf-peepers, but you’ll also find plenty of autumnal action all over the country and thanks to the good people of the Smoky Mountains and their interactive map you can plan exactly where to visit and when.
