Asheville NC Fall Foliage Color Leaf Report 2015 reports

October 7, 2015 Update: Great news…We received much less rain than predicted, and the sun has returned for most of the week! The Blue Ridge Parkway reopened after minor storm clean-up. Lots of great color last week on our trips south and north on the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville. Fortunately, the 10 days of clouds and rain only took down leaves that we already turned. Since most of the leaves are still green, there’s plenty of fall color that will rapidly develop with sun and cooler temperatures. Peak color for this week at highest elevations.
