On October 5, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources issued its second Weekly Fall Foliage Report showing ‘Best Color’ will appear in six Northern Tier counties the week of October 5 to 11.
The recent warm spell has slowed the transition of color across the Commonwealth. The pronounced cooldown expected over the weekend should kickstart a strong progression of color throughout Penn’s Woods.
Much of the Northern Tier is at peak color, with remarkable vibrancy in many areas.
Much of the Allegheny Plateau and the northern Appalachians are approaching best color, indicating that the best is yet to come.
