New England. Plus the quaint little towns add to the foliage charm.

I will give a shoutout to The Poconos in PA. I recently drove I80 across Pennsylvania, and the foliage was stunning. Perfect rolling hills and mountains with orange, yellow, red.

New England, but both areas are beautiful.

How about the upper midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, upper peninsula of Michigan)
-- is it competitive with those two more-famous fall-color destinations?

Absolutely! All 3 regions are stunningly beautiful in the Fall, including the upper Midwest.

New England is the best for the fall.

New England, hands down.

The Blue Ridge/Piedmont has a much prettier *spring* than New England. April west of, say, Charlottesville, is glorious in a way that can be said of October in much of New England away from the coast. (I've lived in both areas.)

Had the same thought. Agreed here.

VT is the stand alone winner for fall foliage.

PNW has a really nice fall too, as you can get really nice contrast between the pines, mountains, and colors.
