I'm planning a two week trip (most likely solo) toward the end of September or early October.
Any suggestions as to where I should go? Your tips and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!

Somewhere leaves are turning, like VT.
Thank you both!
Canyon country in Southern Utah.
I'm thinking about either starting in Front Royal and hiking for a couple of weeks starting mid October, or possibly thru hiking the Bartram Trail connecting to the AT either NOBO to Fontana Dam or SOBO maybe all the way to Springer. But I've got a bunch of things up in the air right now that could yet screw up these plans. I haven't yet done a longer hike in peak foliage season.
I used to hike Old Rag in SNP every year around mid-October which usually seems like the most reliable time to see fall colors in Shenandoah National Park at higher elevations. As the season progresses, the peak color moves down from the ridges into the valleys. I haven't spent much time in West Virginia but I believe that the leaves turn there a bit earlier.
As coffee said, mid October is normally peak leaf season in the SNP area. I'm actually getting married in the mountains in Waynesboro, VA October 17th this year so I'm hoping this year is similar to past years.
