Peep Some Leaves
Fall foliage is at its finest on Cape Cod mid-September through late October—the leaves tend to be at peak color a little later in the season, due to the Cape’s seasonal climate. Explore the beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows by foot, bike or even boat. Stretch your legs in Brewster at Nickerson State Park, where the Cape Cod Rail Trail provides 22 miles of leaf peeping on Cape Cod.
