Begin your evening at the Visitors Center, then follow the illuminated trails out to the Reach for the Sky Canopy Walk and back to the Conservatory, where paths are carpeted in crimson, amber, and gold leaves. Cross the Sky Walk at sunset and soak in the magical light that highlights the fall foliage, creating a truly captivating scene.
