As fall approaches and the leaves prepare to turn colors I have been scouting some new locations and reviewing old favorites from last year to shoot this season. Here are some of my favorites from 2013 that I'll definitely be visiting again this year.
The Raven Cliff Falls overlook in Caesars Head State Park last year was one of my most popular images. Full of great color and a perfect cool morning to hike the 2 miles to the overlook.

Table Rock State Park contains Pinnacle and Table Rock mountains which both offer plenty of strenuous hikes and great views of the fall colors. However one can get an easy view of the mountains from Caesers Head State park which has an easy to access overlook facing Table Rock.

However my favorite way to photograph fall colors is with Table Rock reflected in one of two lakes near its base. Lake Oolenoy and Pinnacle Lake both provide great views of Table Rock with still waters for a perfect reflection.
