Temperatures are cooling down and the nights are getting longer - fall is upon us! The changing leaves are another sign of the season. Some areas in the higher terrain have seen some decent progress over the past week. If you want to celebrate the first weekend of fall with some leaf peeping, you'll need to take a drive to the higher terrain. Spots like Old Forge and Tupper Lake are already reached the color midpoint. Early colors have been spotted all around the Green Mountain State. More pops of color are showing up at Whiteface Mountain and Lake Pleasant. You may have even spotted some patches in the higher spots of the Capital District.So, the color change is on it's way.

We need cool nights, dry and mild afternoons to move the changing foliage along.Image courtesy of Evan Fisher, Explore FallI stumbl...
