How FallHike decides

Localized foliage timing comes from Autumn Guide’s 2026 weather-driven model. FallHike samples the forecast grid at the park’s coordinates, uses local elevation when available, combines it with current Open-Meteo forecasts and recent rainfall, and overlays Illinois’ official regional guidance. Trail and park discovery uses OpenStreetMap data.

Forecasts are planning estimates. Tree species, slope, soil moisture, wind damage and microclimates can make conditions vary even within the same park.
