A wooden boardwalk with a gray railing curves through a forest, its surface covered in fallen autumn leaves. A bright red and orange maple leaf lies prominently in the foreground among brown and yellow leaves, with blurred trees visible in the background.

Leaves on the Red Maple Swamp Boardwalk

Not everyone thinks of Cape Cod when they are planning trips to see the fall foliage in New England but I think more people should. The Red Maple Swamp Trail, in the Fort Hill section of the Cape Cod National Seashore, is beautiful in late October. On this particular trip my eye caught this pair of bright red leaves sitting amidst a pile of dulled older leaves with the boardwalk receding into the colorful forest in the background.

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.
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.
