Is there a noticeable difference in the "Wow" factor? Do all forested regions present the same fall foliage color pop? Is there a noticeable distinction, to the point of where "VT falls look better than Virginia falls" or does it look exactly the same?
Go to Syracuse

Don't even bother posting if your answer isn't northwest Arkansas.
Northern Michigan along Lake Michigan at sun set. That's a body of water the size of Arkansas.
Cold nights and dry sunny days.
Northern michigan is pretty solid!
Michigan Fall colors are the best.

Fall colors east of the Mississippi are a lot different than in the mountains of Colorado.
Yeah, all the same, go to Sidney MT and have a look around. Purty in the Fall.
Varies greatly by year. Rainfall, temperature, other factors in the mix.
Vermont and New Hampshire seem to be reliably good.
Northern Michigan is also quite good, but the UP is a long ways for most people. I was in the lower peninsula (Holland area) over the weekend it was stunning. Lots of reds this year. Further north wasn't as good, which is strange.
Also, it does not all look the same. Areas heavy maples will have more reds. Yellow and orange are more common. Areas with lots of oak may just be brown. Some trees like Ginkgo are absolutely stunning. Areas with more evergreens will have more green scattered throughout.
representative from indiana, the oranges we get here are AMAZING
It's wherever Bill Watterson lived when he was illustrating Calvin and Hobbes.

A friend and I were driving south from Minnesota back to Illinois. My friend had a high school friend that owned a hunting/fishing shop in Wisconsin, and wanted to stop for a short visit.
This happened to coincide with the colorful tree season. We got off the Interstate and traveled a hundred miles or so down either a state or county two lane highway.
The foliage turning colors on the trees was the most vibrant colors I've ever seen in the Mid-West. I've never been to New England, but I've seen photos. Wisconsin has beautiful fall foliage also. Probably Michigan as well. But have never been there in the fall.
I know, I know, I know, everybody no matter where you're from, you think your fall foliage is better than anyone else. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.
Behold your Autumn beauties and enjoy them before the November gales blow them away.
Crested Butte bro
Upper Midwest--Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Then follow the colors as they move south. East Tennessee and north Georgia can be beautiful.
I don't know what I am supposed to be seeing. I'm colorblind. Not a thing that those evangelical preachers have ever cured.
