Fall Foliage Update #1 – September 29th

Fall Foliage Update #1 – September 29th

It is beginning to feel like fall, but we are still waiting for the foliage to respond in many areas! Due to a warm month, we are about 10 days behind when it comes to fall foliage. Fortunately, we still have what should be a good season lined up this year, after last year’s season wasn’t all that great due to a drought.

Much of the Northern PA mountains are beginning to show low color, as well as the Laurel Highlands. The southern half of the state with the exception of the Laurel Highlands has yet to see much change, with some yellows at the top of trees here and there.

Our next Fall Foliage Update will be Saturday, October 6th!
