Fall in Blowing Rock

Many of the leaves we were admiring for their show-stopping color just a week ago have now fallen and stacked up along the trails. They smell great, and are fun to crunch underfoot, however, we are past peak at Blowing Rock’s elevation.

We are halfway through the season, and we’re starting to see leaf fall as we are past peak in the higher elevations, think 4000 ft and above. However, there is still significant color in the 3000 – 3800 ft. range.

We are loving the leaves right now, and are making a point to enjoy them before they fall completely. We have seen significant leaf fall in the past few days due to some rain on Wednesday and overnight winds on Thursday.
