Fall foliage season is almost here (https://uncoveringpa.com/pennsylvania-fall-foliage), and I updated my Fall Foliage Peak Estimation Sheet with the info from 2022 to create this handy chart to help you plan your travels around PA in 2023.

I first came out with this estimation last year, and was the first site to create an estimated peak foliage chart based on actual data from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (though a site or two later stole my map and branded it as their own). While there is variation from year to year, this estimation is based on several years of actual fall foliage reports from the experts at DCNR, so it's a good starting point for your travels if you are looking to plan early.

May 24, 1922 - Exactly 101 years ago today the first acquisition of forest land within the Allegheny purchase unit was made. The National Forest Reservation commission approved the purchase of a 74,025-acre parcel. Just over a year later, Allegheny National Forest was officially designated as a National Forest. Since then, it has grown to be over 514,000 acres!!
