Fall is nature’s grand finale, a time when the leaves transform into a vibrant tapestry of color. Here at Harman’s, nestled amidst breathtaking Monongahela National Forest, you have a front-row seat to this spectacular show!

But in our neck of the woods, the magic starts a little earlier (mid- September) for those seeking the highest concentrations of color. Here’s why:

Higher Altitudes, Earlier Delights:

As elevation increases, so does the anticipation for fall foliage. Places like Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia, and Dolly Sods Wilderness, a high plateau and tundra ecosystem, start showcasing their autumnal brilliance in mid-September.

Here, expect a kaleidoscope of fiery reds, burnished oranges, and sunny yellows painting the landscape.

Spruce Knob’s Fall Majesty:

A short drive from Harman’s, Spruce Knob transforms into a breathtaking spectacle. Hike to the summit for panoramic views of the changing leaves carpeting the rolling hills below.

Dolly Sods’ Tundra Transformation:

Blackwater Falls: A Timeless Beauty:

No matter the season, Blackwater Falls is a must-see. While the surrounding foliage might not reach peak vibrancy quite as early as the higher elevations, the cascading water framed by colorful leaves creates a truly special scene.
