Will be in Maggie Valley, N.C. beginning October 12th. Can anyone in that area give us a leaf (color) report?

We were at Graveyard Fields at ~MP 419 on the BRP a few days ago, a little above 5,100'. There were strong reds and burgundies and some yellows among the greens, maybe 10% - 15% changed. There were some good but isolated colors below that. A cool front has moved thru since, so there should be more color now.

I'm about 60 miles away and at 3500 feet and colors are increasing more and more almost as I watch. I'm north of Asheville on the side of a mountain. Temp was down to 37* this AM.

Still green in Asheville. We may go to Catalochee (near Maggie Valley) tomorrow. If we do, I'll report back.

This is a site you want to bookmark. Once the leaves start to turn they provide a weekly report. This link will take you to the VA, NC, TN status, but you can also check progress for Midwest and Northeast -- and look at the historical info for all three areas.

Well the link looks a little funny but it works.. guess I maxed out on the length.
Here is the link to the main menu so you can inquire on any area.

Maggie Valley is starting to turn colors. A few trees have completely, others are starting to turn and some haven't started yet. It's very patchy, but is still another week before you arrive, so there will be more colors by then. The nights are in the 30's to 40's now with daytime highs in the 60's and 70's. The tourists have started to arrive to leaf peep.

Hi Neighbor,

Are we in God's land or what ?
