At the beginning of this month, we shared the predictions for Buffalo’s fall foliage this year. So far, things have been right on track, with Buffalo’s foliage only now just starting to peek through and make an appearance in certain areas. With a later, more vibrant foliage due to hit the Queen City in the upcoming weeks, there’s still plenty of time to plan out what fall adventures you’re going to take while the scenery is so eye-catching.
