It's the time of year when the hills of Central New York become a rolling canvas for the artistic hand of Mother Nature. This season, the fiery red, brilliant orange and vivid yellow foliage is expected to be one of the more incredible fall displays of recent years. Dr. Allen Drew, a forestry ecologist at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, says the stunning colors are the result of combining bright sunny days with cool nights. “The second week in October,” he explained, “is when you get the brightest colors.” For the fans of fall foliage, take note. It means that the stunning colors are at their peak.
This fall’s breathtaking views are worth taking a special ride or hike to enjoy. There are several places in your area to enjoy the foliage. At Onondaga Lake Park, three year old Nathan Ellis of Liverpool enjoyed rolling through the leaves with his father, Tim. “I love the four seasons, and the fall is definitely my favorite,” his father said, “and I think it’s his too.”
