About Fall Foliage
Every autumn, a quiet alchemy moves through the forest canopy. Sugar maples flame out in scarlet and amber, aspens shiver into gold, and even the sturdy oaks edge their broad leaves in russet before letting go. From a mountain ridge on a still October morning, mug of warm cider in hand, frost still silver on the grass, there is nothing quite like that first long look at the hills on fire.
