Fall Color 2008 Update
9/16/2008

     Fall color in the mountains of Colorado is one week BEHIND schedule this year.  Forecast: The peak of color looks to occur during the last week of September and the first week of October - rather than the normal mid to late September.  Why?  Heavy winter snow and ample summer moisture.

    Fall color at the lower elevations of Colorado is two weeks AHEAD of schedule this year.  Forecast:  The peak of color looks to occur late September - rather than early to mid October.  Why?  Drier than normal conditions this summer.
