Seneca Rocks

Elevation- From around 1530 at the base, 2350 at the rocks. (1.2 mile hike one way)Some yellows in the foliage, with lots of greens on the hills on the eastern side of the Allegheny Front. Late Oct peak. Looking out towards Green Knob, and the Plains to the west at 4700’+. Over a 3000′ vertical in view from atop the rocks.

FR 70 to the Roaring Plains

This area was pretty well peak on birch, maples and the heath. Some of the heath reds were as vibrant as I’ve seen. (The greens mixed in is Mountain Laurel, its green year round)Almost a surreal feel of an Alaskan experience in the midst of the walk.

Elevations through the photos generally in the 4100-4550′ range

Just when you think it’s as good as it gets, you come out to this section…. the only think missing was a moose. When the sun caught those reds at the right angle, wow…..the reds are not edited or enhanced.

Whitmer, upstream along the Gandy, then to Spruce Knob Lake and east to 28

This section is peaking on color south of Whitmer and its showing off. Lots of vibrant maples. Its peak. Only can go down from here. Any rain, wind and especially early next week will limit this area quickly.

Elevation through this area generally 2750-4050
