Fall Foliage Report | October 19, 2017

Despite never having reached "peak," it seems that we're already past it. After a lot of rain and wind last week, there are a lot of leaves on the ground. Most of the trees that have held their leaves are still green, so there is more color to come--just not a lot of it.

Approximately 60% of the areas leaves will have changed by this weekend.

We are finally seeing some color on those hills, with approximately 40% changed by this weekend. Although, with the heavy rain we've had (and may continue to have this weekend) many leaves have already fallen.

The Enchanted Mountains are a beautiful mix of orange, gold, rust, crimson and green.

Our leaves are still just beginning to turn, with approximately 25% changed by this weekend.  The Enchanted Mountains are still predominatly green, with subtle accents of gold, rust and crimson. Although a beautiful stage of the Autumn transition, the "brilliance" is still considered average
