Fall Foliage Bike Tours in the Poconos – Best in the World

Fall Foliage Lehigh River Poconos PA

VIP Pricing currently listed on our Fall Foliage Bike Tours page is valid until September 15, 2019.

Nothing signals the advent of autumn in Pennsylvania like the changing color of the state’s landscape, when entire forests transform into glittering displays of reds, yellows and purples. The best way to see this spectacle are Fall Foliage Bike Tours in the Poconos as they are the Best in the World! This week brought some warm temperatures with cold nights and then a chunk of hurricane influenced winds forced some leave spillage and now the Jim Thorpe Bike Trail has an ample amount of color to ride alongside. Lots of color still exists on the trees and the more North you go on the Lehigh Gorge Bike Trail towards White Haven, the large Poconos Fall Foliage color palette is starting to be on full display. VIP Pricing is currently listed on our Fall Foliage Bike Tours page here on our website until September 15, 2019.

The Lehigh Gorge State Park in the Poconos, PA offers by far the best fall foliage views in the world!

America can claim a lot of things, some say it is the best country in the world to live in, other’s say that it offer’s the best opportunity for prosperity and happiness, one thing is for sure, we would all agree it is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live in. That being said making a statement as World’s Best Fall Foliage, as well the area in Pennsylvania known as the Pocono’s staking this claim as their own, makes for an interesting argument.

Only three regions of the world support deciduous forests that display fall autumn color: eastern North America; the British Isles and parts of northwestern Europe; northeastern China and northern Japan. Forests in other regions are either tropical or dominated by conifers. Poconos Fall Foliage we feel is the best because of our unique mountainous Pocono Plateau.

VIP Pricing currently listed on our Fall Foliage Bike Tours page is valid until September 15, 2019.

Pennsylvania’s location between 40° and 42° North latitude and its varied topography from sea level on the coastal plain to over 3,000 feet in the Laurel Highlands supports 134 species of trees and many more shrubs and vines that contribute to the display of autumn color. VIP Pricing is currently listed on our Fall Foliage Bike Tours page here on our website until September 15, 2019.

Pennsylvania is the meeting ground of northern trees that flourish only on mountain tops farther south and southern species that are at the northern limits of their range.  Gray and paper birch, mountain maple and mountain-ash from the north share Penn’s Woods with southern red oak, sweetbay and umbrella magnolias, sourwood, persimmon and sweetgum from the south. This influences the Poconos Fall Foliage enough to create the most diverse color palette in the world. Ohio buckeye, bur oak, and shingle oak, common to the Mississippi Valley, have eastern outposts on the Allegheny Plateau also providing an awesome fall foliage bike tour experience.

For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees and shrubs in autumn. Although we don’t know all the details, we know enough to explain the basics and help you to enjoy nature’s multicolored autumn display. Three factors influence autumn color — leaf pigments, length of night, and weather, but not quite in the way we were told as children. The timing of color change and leaf fall are primarily regulated by the increasing length of night.

None of the other environmental influences – temperature, rainfall, food supply, and so on-are as unvarying as the steadily increasing length of night during autumn. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical processes in the leaf begin to paint the landscape with nature’s autumn palette so this year’s longer winter, wetter summer and brief cold spell we just got really has little effect on the peak color palette and it’s timing.
