Fall foliage
意味: The colorful autumn leaves on deciduous trees, especially as a scenic attraction.
Fall foliage season turns New England into the most photographed landscape in America. When the leaves change — reds, oranges, yellows, and golds — 'leaf peeping' becomes a tourism phenomenon worth billions. 'Peak foliage' is tracked like weather, with maps showing which regions are at their most colorful. Weekend drives through Vermont, the Blue Ridge Mountains, or upstate New York during peak foliage are American autumn traditions. 'The leaves are changing' is the signal that fall has arrived.
