Natural History Wanderings

Great Smokey Mt. Natural History Association posted a fall color update for October 24

A 10-day stretch of nearly perfect sunny days and cool nights has been the catalyst for a spectacular fall color show happening right now in the Great Smoky Mountains. Colors are at or near peak at elevations below 4,000 feet. At the lowest elevations of the park a few trees, including many oaks, are still green, so there is still promise for fall colors continuing into next week.
