- Leaves in Poconos usually in full color mid October but this is affected by rainfall before leaves change colorand the difference in daytime vs. nighttime temperature.
Best bet is to phone locals and ask. If you don't know anyone, phone local tourist organization or local photo club...This applies anywhere you plan to travel.Higher elevations usually change sooner.
