Just in time for leaf peeping season, the Illinois Office of Tourism, in partnership with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), has released the 2022 Fall Colors Trip Planner

This is a new online guide to make finding the best time to spot peak fall foliage across the state easier than ever.

The Fall Colors Trip Planner features the new Illinois Fall Color Tracker, and an interactive state map that allows users to track fall colors by region within a specific time frame.

Illinois’ Fall Colors Trip Planner will serve as a useful trip planning resource featuring regional road trip itineraries, weekly fall color reports and the top fall activities.

Travelers are also encouraged to share their fall color photos using the #EnjoyIllinois hashtag to be featured on EnjoyIllinois.com.

“The new Fall Colors Trip Planner and Fall Color Tracker are great tools for anyone looking to plan a fall getaway, whether they live in Illinois or are visiting from another state or country. This fall, we encourage folks to get out and explore the beautiful Illinois foliage,”said Sylvia I. Garcia, Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO).
