My morning drive took me through the Broadalbin-Perth area into Gloversville. The tree lined roads are always picturesque in the morning sun, but when the leaves start to change to autumn colors it is always a little more special. The crisp mornings are a reminder that many fall events are happening and the Adirondacks are a great place to see the foliage change.
The variety of colors is just starting to show. Many trees have a yellow and gold color to them. Some have a brownish red peeking through. At this point, very few have orange or any deep vibrant colors. Within the next two weeks, we should see a brilliance of color and reach peak leaf peeping.
The mountain views showcase a progressive timeline in the change of colors. The higher elevations tend to change slightly earlier. If enjoying scenic rides through Fulton County, expect to visit the higher elevations a few days earlier than lower elevations.
