Fascinating Facts: Tourists, dubbed “leaf peppers,” drive hundreds of miles to see these brightly colored “royals” of fall foliage in places like the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Delicious maple syrup is made from the sap of this tree, requiring the boiling down of about 30 to 50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup.
