FoliageBeat
Community fall foliage tracker
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Real hikers report real conditions — LeafScore, stage, photos — across Western NC, Shenandoah & the Blue Ridge, and New England. Community-powered, always current.
FoliageBeat is powered by real hikers, not a seasonal average or a weather model. Every LeafScore, foliage stage, and photo comes from someone who was on the trail recently — across three regions: Western North Carolina, Shenandoah & the Virginia Blue Ridge, and New England.
49 hand-picked hotspots give you a trustworthy starting point. The community keeps it current all season — and it only takes a minute to add your own report.
• Live LeafScore and foliage-stage reports from real hikers, not a forecast
• Submit your own report in under a minute — no account needed
• Photos from other visitors at each location
• Earn badges as you contribute — Leaf Spotter, Peak Seeker, Trail Blazer, and more
• 49 curated hotspots across 3 regions, with more added regularly
• Save your favorite spots and get notified the moment they reach peak
• Map view with color-coded pins, or a sortable list by distance
• Trail info, difficulty, parking, admission and best-time details for every hotspot
• 100% free — no ads, no subscription, nothing to sign up for
Whether you're planning a weekend drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, or the White Mountains, FoliageBeat helps you catch peak color instead of missing it — because someone else already did.

• Fixed notification and app badge reliability issues
• Fixed a layout issue where longer region names could push controls off-screen
• Various under-the-hood improvements for stability
