Fall foliage

We drove the Kanc, Bear Notch and 302 then hiked Ripley Falls on 10/9. Orange colors were less than stellar but the reds were popping, especially along the Swift. Plenty of green left. Overall its a bit early, which is hard to believe.

I noticed a huge difference from Saturday to Monday with the colors along Winnisquam.

Noticed the same thing. We went to the Sandwich Fair Saturday and Monday morning and I was amazed at how much more colorful it was Monday. Not peak, but quite a change.

The fungus from all the rain has done it's damage here in the Alton area also but the color is really coming to life the last few days. Like UPTHESAUKEE said going up route 11 toward New Durham and Rochester is real pretty this afternoon. Just wish the sun had been out a bit to really make them stand out.
