As you can see from the map below, Nevada’s foliage won’t be at its “peak” until late October. You can see that during the week of October 22nd, eastern Nevada is at “near peak” and the rest of the state is at “partial peak”.
Smoky Mountains
The best time to view the fall foliage will be sometime in between late October and early November. It’s during the week of November 5th that you can expect the majority of the state’s foliage to be at absolute peak. Keep in mind that by this time eastern Nevada will be “past peak”.
