Fabulous Fall Foliage in the Allegheny National Forest

Peak fall colors are coming a little early this year in the Allegheny National Forest in northwestern Pennsylvania, with hillsides full of bright oranges, yellows, reds and various shades of green expected to greet visitors over the long Columbus Day weekend. Located just two hours north of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny National Forest is a mecca for recreation enthusiasts with miles of hiking and biking trails, meandering trout streams, rivers for canoeing and kayaking, and scenic drives and overlooks for those who like to sit back, relax and soak in the view. The Allegheny Reservoir is especially beautiful in the fall, as are the beautiful forests that line the winding Longhouse National Scenic Byway.
