leaf peeping
 
Heading to NC this weekend for a week, are there still leaves? Planning on going to Boone and West Jefferson and hoping for some color.
thanks

The weekend of October 22, I was on the Blue Ridge Parkway as far north as Linville Falls, and there wasn't much color left to see there. Boone and West Jefferson are farther north and at higher elevations. So I think you're probably out of luck.

Thanks for responding hawksbill, I figured I would be too late.

I live near Pilot Mountain and the reports are this weekend is our peak. It is quite gorgeous right now, but we are getting a terrific rain this evening which might change things up a bit.

Went to West Jefferson, beautiful leaves on the way up, a few bare trees, all in all a spectacular show
