The 120-acre Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area (JILONA) was designated by Congress in 2008 for the preservation, protection and enhancement of seven key resources and values reflecting the remarkable biodiversity and rich, 6,000 year history of the site. These are Historic, Natural, and Cultural Resources and Scientific, Educational, Recreational, and Scenic Values. The site is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Visitors to the site can enjoy exploring along marked trails, observing native plants and animals, or getting in the water along the shoreline. All the ways we enjoy the shoreline and the ONA are part of a rich legacy of use of the area. People have been traveling and living in this area for 6,000 years, long before construction of the lighthouse on site. The area's strategic location rendered it as important throughout this time, from use by Indigenous groups like the Jeaga and Jobe, through to post World War II use of the site by the Coast Guard. Using our Trekking through Time app, you can learn what life would have been like in the past through augmented reality with our virtual tour guide, explore archaeological objects from the past, and imagine what this place might have looked like.

KNOW WHEN THE LEAVES WILL CHANGE Fallcast predicts fall foliage conditions across the country, helping you find where the colors are changing now, where they're headed next, and when to plan your next leaf-peeping trip. The forecast is rebuilt every day from satellite observations and state foliage reports, so when a season runs early or late, the forecast changes with it. PLAN AHEAD See how foliage conditions are expected to change over the coming weeks. Compare locations and find the places most likely to have good color when you're ready to go. TRIPS Planning a fall trip? Follow foliage conditions at your destination before and during your trip. See what's changing and where to look for the best color along the way. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Find foliage conditions alongside golden hour to help plan your next autumn photo. IDENTIFY ANY TREE Point your camera at a leaf or a tree and Fallcast names the species. Fallcast has 176 species identified right on your device. Save what you find and build a collection. LEARN THE LEAVES Which trees change first, how different species contribute to the fall landscape, and what each tree looks like as its color turns. Every species page covers its shape, its color, when to look for it, and why it changes colors the way it does. Regional tree and leaf guides help you understand what you're seeing. WIDGETS Keep foliage conditions for your favorite places on your Home Screen, so you can check the season at a glance. Fallcast is free to use — current and recent conditions, how this year compares with normal, the complete field guide, three photo identifications a season, and one saved place. Season Pass is an annual subscription that unlocks the full forecast, color intensity forecasts, trip planning, unlimited identifications and saved places, and alerts when color at a saved place runs early or late. The leaves are changing. Know where to find them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trekking Through Time at none against Fallcast's 1. Trekking Through Time also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Fallcast's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
