Fall Color Gallery 2025

Look out for our daily fall color photographic reports during October. Enjoy a sampling of our colors on Grandfather Mountain and our surrounding area, including the Blue Ridge Parkway. During this time, more detailed daily color reports are also posted on Grandfather Mountain’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages. Peak colors in our Blue Ridge Mountains begin at the highest summits like Grandfather Mountain in early October and gradually spread down the mountainsides into the valleys for 3-4 weeks. Plan a trip with our Fall Visits Guide and read about the Science Behind Fall Leaf Season on Grandfather.
