Pics today-

Dolly Sods- Bear Rocks, upper Red Creek area

Fall foliage is on the tail end in this area. The larger trees, primarily maples have lost a great deal of foliage this past week. The heath reds, while still nice, have also lost a fair amount of foliage. Still some pockets where that is not the case. With a good sun angle, even those thinner areas still illuminate for some nice pics.

    South from Bear Rocks

    Around Laneville, look up to Weiss, out to 32, and up Bald Knob

    Foliage up top is well past peak. The maples are bare for the most part up high. With a few random exceptions . The birch on Weiss has come and gone in the week. Some patches of nice color down low. The main green foliage on the hillsides are locust, cherry with some beech. Locust and and cherry are blahhhh. The valley birch should become nice this coming week. (Towards the resort)

    Into the valley….

    The evening sun helping to enhance the colors on the hillside, vs a midday sun angle

    A look at that spot 6 days ago

    Over Canaan Mountain

    Foliage here, its lost some of the bright maple foliage, but a fair amount left.

    Quick check on the Blackwater Canyon

    Yellows progressed a little, with cooler in play, these should speed up some

    Mammatus Clouds

    Rock Lodge Rd south of Bittinger

    Sunset west of Bittinger

    Lots of maple foliage lost here also, too dark for pics. Tomorrow….

    Back to Baldy for some foliage progression highlights..

    “Highlights” may be a tad dramatic, but here’s a timeline. All pics labeled.

    In other news…..
