It's always stunning here along the shores of lake Michigan. Experts are saying it's going to be a little later this year due to above average temperatures we are having now.

No color here yet but the walnuts are dropping nuts and leaves. We got around 8" of rain this weekend and it's going to be near 90 this afternoon, so it's still summer.

Early signs of fall here, though temps still in the 90s!

Not much here outside of Boston, yet. I rode in southern NH last week on a ride that would have been stupendous with color. I'll be riding in northern VT later this week with a report.

Just at the beginning stage here on coastal Delmarva. The western parts of MD/VA with elevation may be farther along. We are getting some beautiful fall type sunsets.

90 degrees in the Blue Ridge yesterday and it has been dry as a bone. I'm not holding out for a spectacular show this year.

While there is, believe it or not, changing foliage in SoCal you have to look hard for it and it's still too early.
But as long as we're talkin' weather and changing seasons, last week saw a drop of ~30 degrees when venturing up into the San Gabriels, felt like summer was ending (uh, now forecast for the 80s next weekend).
Looking toward Mt. Wilson:

I just got back from Utah on Saturday and they just started to pop. Here in Virgina it's literally been a desert this year so we won't expect much except for brown leaves falling out of the trees :(

No Fall colors in La Jolla yet but mornings are a bit cooler so a light jacket is welcome at 6am. Expect sunny 72F mid-day.

We're pretty much at the peak, at least for the scrub oak. The quakies are just getting started--should be a fine weekend up in the hills.

A three day wind and rain event is pretty much a disaster for the northeast foliage. This weekend is going to be dodging a lot of wet leaves on the road and with it, the everpresent din of leaf blowers.

I saw a waterfall just like this somewhere on the drive from Orem to Sundance yesterday. Here for work and we took a lil hike before we hit up the Foundry Grill.

The very same! Named "Bridal Veil Falls," for obvious reasons. We often ride up the road that takes you to Sundance, though today's ride was up the side canyon just before that (South Fork).

Let me know if you need a loaner.

Jealous of dinner at the Foundry . . .

Enjoy your visit!

Wow that is a crazy coincidence! First time visiting the area and am only here for a few days(leaving tomorrow). Unbelievable that you posted the picture the very day after I just passed this randomly!

Very beautiful here right now!

Went up near Bromley and Stratton in Vermont yesterday.
Didn't expect it to be so pretty given the rain and colors in Bennington and Manchester. This will be a pretty spectacular weekend....and then I'd say that the best will be behind us from here.

Most of the leaves here in Virginia have turned brown so far due to the lack of rain. In some cases the leaves are falling and are still green. But we did have some good rain last week and now a few trees are coming out.

The wife and I rode our Paketa tandem on the Great River Ride out of Westfield, MA on Sunday. Holy cow, the views and the climbs were better than I remember. I haven't ridden 110 miles in a while!

I almost certainly saw a forum member - pink/purple Chapman 650b with a dyno hub and WI crank. Who else has such taste?

Sorry, no pics. This was our first weekend for "us" since our daughter was born and I didn't want to have my phone out constantly. Grandma and Grandpa followed us to rest stops, it was a sweet day.
