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. Add a hike or a saved route as a stop. TRAILS More than 44,000 hiking, biking, horse, ATV and 4WD trails, each mapped with this season’s foliage. See the color and elevation along any trail, explore it in 3D, and export it to your favorite trail app. Link trails together to build your own custom foliage route. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Find foliage conditions alongside golden hour to help plan your next autumn photo. IDENTIFY ANY LEAF Point your camera at a leaf 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, every trail with free GPX export, 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, routes built from several trails, automatic Live Activities on travel days, 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.
