Blue Ridge Parkway Fall Colors Tracker reports

Here in the latter half of September, we are beginning to see some of the telltale signs of fall. The days are getting shorter, the mornings cooler, and a few of the trees are starting to get a hint of fall color. The Parkway is still predominately green, but a few trees are starting to turn at the highest elevations. We are still a few weeks away from significant color changes, with the peaks commonly coming in early- to mid-October.
