The image shows a winding wooden boardwalk covered with fallen autumn leaves, curving gently through a forest filled with tall trees and vibrant fall foliage in shades of yellow, orange, and red. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating a warm, golden glow throughout the scene.

Fall on the Red Maple Swamp Trail

Cape Cod isn’t one of the marquee fall foliage destinations in New England but if you know where to look there are many beautiful spots in late October. The Red Maple Swamp trail is in the Fort Hill area of the Cape Cod National Seashore and, as you might expect, is home to many red maple trees that do their thing in the fall and coat the boardwalk and ground with beautiful red leaves.

A field of purple and blue lupine flowers in full bloom stretches across Fort Hill at sunset, with tall spiky flower stalks in the foreground, green meadow grasses, and a coastal marsh and bay visible in the background beneath a pastel pink and blue twilight sky.
