The North Carolina mountains fall foliage season is a beautiful show each and every year, The fall leaf color changes start in the higher elevations of the Western North Carolina mountains about the first week of October and will work its way down to the lower elevations of the mountains in mid November. Due to the varied elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains you can always find the best show of color somewhere in the fall months of September, October and November. The biggest factors involved in the changing colors of the foliage are elevation and the weather. The warmer the weather the slower the progression of color. Cooler temperatures and an early frost will speed up the leaf color change show.
