Yes, the Leaves are Changing Color

Here in the mountains of Shenandoah County, the trees have started to greet autumn. The dogwoods turned red a week ago and are now fading but many trees have not changed yet. This weekend and next should be colorful here.

Peak color here (northwestern Virginia) typically falls between Oct. 15-25. See the fall foliage map at the bottom of this UVA page. If you drive out to the Shenandoah and the colors haven't changed yet, drive up into the mountains.
