Fall foliage is one of nature's spectaculars, and it happens every year. If you're an East coaster you can confidently plan a memorable weekend foliage viewing trip as far South as the Carolinas. Flatlanders in the coastal areas may have to travel to the mountains but even the farthest car trip will only be a few hours. Well within reach of one weekend's travel plans.
