White Mountains Region: Some spotty color is coming to life in the White Mountains Region. Most of the area is mainly green, but leaf peepers are reporting that flashes of red are showing up around waterways and along some roadsides. Route 302 through Crawford Notch is showing some color change, and so is Route 49 through Waterville Valley. Overall, the colors are just beginning in this part of the state. but will be spectacular when they reach their peak. Traveling through Franconia Notch State Park is a great family day trip - be sure to visit the Flume Gorge and also Boise Rock, where a brave New Hampshire man sought shelter under during a vicious winter storm in the early 1800's.
Great North Woods: Some colorful changes are taking place in the Great North Woods Region, also called New Hampshire's Grand North. The swamp maples along the rivers and higher elevations are showing some nice bright reds, a sure sign that fall will be arriving quickly. Mountain slopes are mainly green with hints of red and yellow coming to life. Route 26 from Errol to Colebrook is a dramatic scenic drive. A few more evening frosts will bring this area to peak fall foliage soon.
