Top 2 in Top 10 Best Places to See Fall Foliage in America.
Best for: Families with children
Niagara Falls is a top spot to witness Mother Nature perform her magic. This family destination in New York State has vibrant forests, fast-flowing waterfalls, and unique vantage points (such as Goat Island and the Rainbow Bridge) to delight your eyes at the fall foliage. Due to its special microclimate characteristics, the tree changes leaves later than the rest of the region, making visits in mid to late October an important time.

The Cave of the Winds, a tour that takes you up close to the falls, is a top-rated attraction for good reason. (Just remember to bring a hooded raincoat.)
