The Colors of Fall in Idaho:  Fall Viewing Guide

The leaves are starting to change color, the weather is getting cooler, and pumpkin spice everything is back in season! That can only mean one thing – it’s time for some leaf peeping! Idaho is known for its beautiful fall colors, and there are plenty of places where you can enjoy the autumn scenery. Be sure to read through the full newsletter for all our insider autumn tips!

Northern Idaho Leaf Peeping

Northern Idaho is arguably one of the best place to see fall colors. Here, you can find yourself surrounded by mountains, forests, and lakes, all blanketed in a thick layer of colorful leaves. The air is crisp and fresh, and the scenery is simply stunning.

Between Lake Coeur d’Alenes breathtaking vistas & hikes, and Sandpoint, IDs sprawling hills – it’s hard to be disappointed by these colors.

Fall Colors In Other Regions Of Idaho

While we still think North Idaho is the best place for seeing fall colors, other regions of Idaho can be very enjoyable as well. Check out the best times to visit these areas!

The Mesa Falls Scenic Byway through Idaho is a gorgeous place to see fall foliage. Visit the Mesa Falls Visitor Center and walk down to the viewing platforms for an up-close look at the falls. This is a very beautiful part of Idaho even when it’s not fall, and the autumn season can make it even better!

Boise, known as “The City of Trees,” is home to many deciduous, non-native trees. Maples and ash trees add a unique variety of colors to the area. The brilliantly orange and deep red trees add to the landscape of Boise riverbanks and surrounding parks. Thick aspens along with yellow cottonwoods fill in the gaps, while native low-growing plants and shrubs provide a crimson hue.
