By csheaffer@helenadamsrealty.com - October 23, 2019
 

One of the best parts about the seasons changing is the wide range of orange, red, and yellow hues hanging from the trees. As the leaves in North Carolina change to their vibrant fall colors, we’re reminded of the natural beauty in our community. The state’s mountains, valleys, and piedmont region’s contribute to perfect seasonal temperatures and captivating colors falling from the trees. Near or far, there are certain places around the Carolinas that make these fall views even more spectacular. Here is a list of some places in the area where you can experience the beauty of fall in the Carolinas for yourself.

 

Crowder’s Mountain

Crowder’s Mountain is a quick trip from Charlotte, just a few miles west of the city center. With many popular hiking trails, the summit of Crowder’s Mountain offers views over the treetops to Charlotte’s skyline and all that’s to its west.

 

Uwharrie National Forest

This forest covers 50,000 acres in parts of Montgomery, Davidson, and Randolph counties. The natural acreage has rivers running through the forest, hiking and horseback riding trails, and camp sites. With this much natural space, the changing leaves are sure to stand out in the fall. Visit the forest’s website for details and location.
