Last Call
one more week remains in the color season
It's week eleven of the color season and the writing is on the wall we are nearing the end. The last area with color remaining is just above Asheville, while the rest of the Southern Section slips into stick season.
The Parkway is closed today (Nov 13th) as snow falls along the highest sections, with 4" inches or more likely by Saturday afternoon for our highest peaks.
It should open back up Sunday into Monday and we recommend using the Explore Fall website (map) or the NPS table, both updated daily at 6am.
The elevation line for past-peak is around 3800' for most of the Southern Section.
Oaks are the dominant color scene at the moment, but this will soon end as stick season slowly drops in elevation, holding to 5000' this week.
