The Western North Carolina Mountains are beautiful all year, but they really show off their colors and stunning beauty in Autumn and Fall. In this episode we break down the Fall Color Map for North Carolina by Appalachian State University’s Howard Neufeld (Affectionately known as the Fall Color Guy) and Michael Denslow. We also talk about how weather affects fall color and how this year’s weather is shaping up. We’ll break down the timeline of the map by elevation and share some killer spots for leaf color viewing at each elevation. And lastly, I’ll share a few tips to help make this an epic year for fall color viewing
