The feeling of fall is in the air! Even though it may seem early, the feeling (and look) of fall is very present. Keep checking back as we post updates on the changing of the season!
When you think of fall, the first thing that comes to mind is the beautiful combinations of colors in the soon to be falling leaves. Each leaf a different shade of orange, red and yellow can be found in the Adirondacks. The peak of the fall season is late September & early October when those vibrate colors are covering every mountain and valley through the entire Adirondack Park.
Week of October 3rd- October 10th – It’s Peak Week!
Percent changed: 90%
Predominant Colors: Brilliant reds popping everywhere, especially on the shores of lakes and rivers. All shades of orange are flourishing, with golds and yellows in abundance showing against a green background of pines. Cool temperatures and primarily sunny days should keep the colors going well into the coming weeks.
Brilliance: PEAK- ABOVE Average Beauty!
There are so many ways that you can take in the picturesque scenery. You can spend the day hiking, taking in spectacular views – or take a chair lift ride to the top of McCauley Mountain for an entirely different view of those beautiful fall-filled mountains. Kayaking and canoeing allow you to feel closer to nature and are a great way to leaf peep. The reflection of the bright fall leaves in the clear water below is picturesque.
