Northeast Ohio falls are beautiful and long. Nothing like going on a bike ride through the Cleveland Metroparks or the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in the fall, followed by some hot apple cider. We also have some of the best apple cider and maple syrup around. I'm getting excited for Fall just thinking about it.
Agreed. Western PA as well.

East Coasters are surely going to prop up New England, and NE is very nice in Fall. A comparable area is the MN/WI/MI region, especially along Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Where I grew up (Door County WI) there are tons of festivals celebrating the season, and I've never seen a region more beautiful in Fall than northern Door County.
Me, neither. Here in CO, the leaves in the mtns are usually at their peak for about two weeks.

For myself, I'm thinking of a "long fall" as the total "season" between the oppressive heat of summer and the "hibernating long cold SNOWY winter. With or without a long leaf peeping period.
The bold is true. Here in metro Denver, if we get an early snow before the leaves have changed color (e.g. September), the leaves just turn black and fall off. The weather here can be beautiful for months, from Sept. through November, even into December sometimes, with 1-2 snows in there as well, just to give us a foretaste of the season to come. There's an urban legend there is always snow for Halloween. It's almost true. Denver Halloween Snow Statistics Through 2009

A few more pictures of Wisconsin fall, these are all outside Door County (which I posted on the previous page) & from different quadrants of the state...
Great River Road on the Mississippi River, western WI border:
Lodi (north of Madison), Lake Wisconsin in the background:
Bayfield Peninsula, northern WI (Lake Superior in the background):
A more Western-looking scene post-peak color with bluffs & mesas in the Central WI Sands:
Southeast WI, Milwaukee suburbs looking towards the moraines and Holy Hill:
