Will be hitting the trail sobo for 16 days starting October 1st. Walking through CT, NY and NJ. It looks like the trail is right on the foliage line thru these states of when the colors will start showing. I guess it is a hit or miss depending on the rainfall but I do love walking sobo during the fall foliage. Any pictures of these areas of the trail during the first half of October would be appreciated if you would like to share.

I heard a piece on NPR last week saying this summer's weather in the northeast will create ideal colors when the leaves start to change.

The leafs are already starting to change here in the Whites and we might get a dusting of snow this weekend on the summits!

Been hearing similar claims for leaves in GSMNP.

The good stuff will start on 12 October, not the 11th.

We did the north section of NY and all of CT in late September trips in 2011 and 2012 and the colors were not nearly as vibrant. Enjoy your walk. We'll be in VT and NH in mid-September this year.
