Looking for an early fall option to Colorado Aspens also. Late September into first few days of October. Looking for intimate forest scenes birch with color - small ponds - other reflection type images.
Will drive form TN, stash a vehicle fly back home and return for few days at ACadia midmonth and then drive back. IF NE color sucks then will do CO.
Looking for locations, camping locations, in / out airport - any and all tips. Not looking so much for grand scenics and definitely don't want a bumper to bumper Cades Cove sort of crowd.
Unfortunately need to start reserving time off soon so need idea of when color is good in an AVERAGE year to plan - will fine tune as it gets close if color is late or early.
White Mtns - ? Baxter? - northern Vt -
thanks in advance - If you have Blue Ridge Parkway or Smokies questions would be happy to reciprocate
If you think your reply is not of general interest, feel free to PM at nye@simmonsphotoarts.com
The reference date for good color for the areas you mentioned I have listed below. They seem to be less reliable than they were 5 or 10 years ago but they are still what I use. Hopefully others here in the northeast can give you their reference dates:
Baxter Sept 20 thru 30
White Mtns / N. Vermont somewhere in the first or second week of October should have good color and you will likely hit the peak color one of those weeks
I will share some locations with you in a later post.
