What a nice early blast of cool air this whole weekend to remind us of what is about to unfold in just a few weeks. The excitement is building despite the fact that we have had quite the summer of relentless heat and heat waves, not to mention the lack of rain causing moderate to severe drought in some areas of New England.That said, we were hiking in the western CT/NY border yesterday and saw lots of early leaf change in the higher elevations. My personal thoughts are that this will be an early and fast pop of color for the 2022 fall foliage season. Our local reports state that we expect to peak in CT in late September rather than October. We'll just have to wait and see!
This is perfect hiking weather and next weekend I'll be off to Manchester, VT to another new trailhead. I hope to get two more hikes in before Labor Day Weekend in Vermont before the fall excursions begin!
Stay tuned!!!!:
