What does “Leaf peeper” mean
A 'leaf peeper' is a visitor who comes to Connecticut and the rest of New England in autumn specifically to view the fall foliage. The term is used, sometimes with mild exasperation, by locals describing the seasonal influx of slow-driving tourists on rural roads. It is shared across New England states with strong fall-color tourism.
