As I write this, fall colors are sweeping across the country from north to south and from higher elevations to lower elevations. Late fall color is blending with early winter in the San Juan mountains of southwest Colorado. Fall colors are at peak in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and near peak in the northern part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula.
New Hampshire is at or near peak across most of the state. Vermont is reporting one of the best fall color seasons in recent memory.
The color season is just beginning in North Carolina. Leaves will turn first in the higher elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains and work there way down to places like Cades Cove.
If you haven’t already done so, it’s not too late to plan your fall color trip, be it nearby or far away.
