Fall foliage is expected to peak this week in the Nashville area, but hues of yellow, orange, and red will linger for a while longer. To help you enjoy the season, we’ve rounded up a few guided hikes and tours.

  • Percy Warner Park | Reserve a golf cart tour this month on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The free, all-ages ride includes a stop at the Allée steps and other spots to view fall foliage.
  • Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary | Register for the final two Fall Color Hikes, a “moderately strenuous” journey open to ages 14 and older, offered on Saturday, Nov. 9 + Saturday, Nov. 16. The guided hike is $15 per person.
  • Long Hunter State Park | Pencil in these two fall colors tours: Saturday, Nov. 9 at Couchville Lake and Sunday, Nov. 10 along the Bryant Grove trail.
