Best Leaf Peeping Spots Detailed in LeafQuest

MapQuest creates fall foliage guide with three recommended spots per state.

The weather may feel summery still. (We're not complaining!) But it is indeed fall, as the brightly colored leaves dotting trees and covering streets and parks attest.

To help leaf peepers enjoy the season, MapQuest has put together LeafQuest, a guide to fall foliage viewing in 49 states plus Washington, D.C. Each state has three suggested spots for prime peeping. 

In Illinois, the Morton Arboretum and Naperville Riverwalk get a shout out. You can read the full list of Illinois foliage recommendations here.
