Poconos Foliage - October 28th
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:17 am
Yesterday we went on a trip to Southern Poconos (Carbon Countly, Hickory Run State Park, Beltzville State Park).
We found great color there, at peak. We had lunch in the great little town of Jim Thorpe, so nice there.
Dominating colors there are normally gold, bronze and orange and indeed it's what we found.
The few red maples turned earlier and were largely bare.
We found also pockets of great colors along the way, on the 476.
In the Poconos the leaf drop was very marginal, the Saturday storm wasn't that windy there.
Much more leaf drop closer to Philly.
Here are some pictures:
