Leaf peeping!

Anyone heading out this weekend wirh the specific activity of peeping some leaves in mind?

I'd say here in West/Central New York we are at about halfway, and the foilage reports seem to agree. As per usual the ADKs have come and are nearly gone.

Going to take a dayhike with my wife and daughter out to Naples, NY and walk a few gullies to view the valley from above at Hi Tor WMA.

Here's to a perfect, crisp mid-autumn weekend, folks...

It should be a good year in CT according to the leaf experts so I'm keeping my hopes up. There are some beautiful spots.
