It’s peak time for fall foliage in the Portland area, so our photographers ventured out to capture the leaves in all their red, orange and yellow glory.
The Portland Japanese Garden’s famous lace leaf Japanese maple at the Upper Pond of the Strolling Pond Garden is a light orange shade, “and it won’t be long until it transforms into its signature fiery orange-red,” a garden news release reports.

If you want to go leaf peeping in Portland yourself, do it soon. According to the Fall Foliage Prediction Map by the week of Oct. 25, only southwest Oregon is still expected to have fall color, and come November almost all the color should be gone.
Here’s the breakdown of fall color in Oregon for the rest of the season:
Week of Oct. 18: Peak in northwest and all eastern Oregon, near peak in central Willamette Valley and central coast. Those in the Portland area should be able to find good fall color close to home, including the Columbia River Gorge and the north Oregon coast. Head to Bend and other areas of central Oregon for good color just about everywhere.
Week of Oct. 25: Peak in central Willamette Valley and central coast, near peak on southwest Oregon coast. Head down to the central and southern parts of the western Oregon to catch peak fall color in places like Eugene and Grants Pass. This is also a good time to see fall color on the coast in places like Newport and Florence.
Week of Nov. 1: Peak on southwest Oregon coast. For one last look at fall color for the season, head to places like Bandon and Brookings, where you can see Oregon’s redwoods alongside deciduous trees changing color at mid-fall.
