Columbus Autumn Leaves Tour: A Seasonal Dialogue

🧡Highbanks Park is undoubtedly one of the top destinations in Columbus for enjoying fall foliage—its trails are gentle and easy to navigate, and admission is free, making it perfect for family outings. ✨However, this autumn has been unusually dry, leaving the streams nearly parched and missing the lively murmur of flowing water. 🍁During a three-hour hike, I encountered many photographers capturing autumn family photos for their clients. 🌳While Highbanks is dominated by golden hues rather than vibrant reds, the maples and oaks weave together a warm yellow tapestry that, though not strikingly crimson, possesses its own tranquil and expansive beauty. 🌴For a more intense red foliage experience, head to the small river downtown or German Village. 🌿Here, ancient maple trees blaze with fiery red leaves, complementing century-old red-brick buildings. 🌈 Pumpkins adorn the cobblestone pathways, and autumn wreaths hang under the eaves—every scene resembles a classical oil painting. #AutumnFoliage #OhioFall #FallWanderlust
