leafer

Fall color chaser

A leafer is someone who goes leaf-peeping—traveling to view autumn foliage at its colorful peak.

The term is most common in New England and other regions where fall tourism centers on the changing leaves.

The leafers clogged the mountain roads every October weekend.

Leafer can also simply mean one who leafs through something, turning pages casually.
