Pinpointing the peak times for fall foliage or knowing exactly where
each region is in terms of its seasonal foliage progression depends,
in many cases, on what part of the state/region one visits during the
times you specified. Keeping in mind that most of the states you
mentioned have significantly varying degrees of foliage within the
state, please let me know if these sources serve as a sufficient
answer to your question:
