On October 19, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources issued its fourth Weekly Fall Foliage Report showing there will be impressive color just about anywhere in Pennsylvania the week of October 19 to 25.

The pattern of chilly nights has continued, coaxing many forest canopies comprising Penn’s Woods to a brilliant crescendo.

Vivid fall color is now widespread throughout the Commonwealth.

Awesome autumn hues can be found from the Poconos to the central and southern Appalachians west through the Allegheny Plateau.

Fall foliage enthusiasts can expect impressive color just about anywhere in the Keystone State throughout the forecast period.
