Autumn Leaves Beginning to Show Color

The leaves are beginning to change color throughout the Northeast, and in northern Maine, the color is slowly approaching its peak. In Minnesota, the peak is here, and neighboring states are showing color.

Also, the peaks of the Rocky Mountain states are displaying the early hints of color. In this first official week of autumn, the signs of the season are growing more evident -- even as abnormal heat blankets much of the Northeast and New England. Here are some good sources of information to help plan leaf-peeping excursions:

• Minnesota: Fall color reports for the most colorful state.
• Mainefoliage.com: Reports about fall color for the first New England state to show color.
• Weather.com: Maps showing peak color throughout the country.
• U.S. Forest Service: Fall foliage hotlines, by state and region.
