Sometimes that peak arrives at the end of September, other times at mid-month. This year I&#8217;m guessing that the colors will peak in mid-September because fall seems to be descending more quickly than in recent years.<br \/>\nJune and July were hotter than usual this summer here in the Rockies, while August was cooler. Too, a few weeks ago I was up in central Idaho and awoke a few days to frost on our car. Perhaps those are not the most scientific reasons for my gut feeling, but I&#8217;d wager fall colors in the northern Rockies will be at their best at mid-month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> I&#8217;m guessing much the same&#8217;s true for the Sierra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Parks Traveler suggests this is a great time to go looking for wildlife, and the time&#8217;s coming soon to see peak fall colors near the high peaks: Timing fall&#8217;s best colors in the Rockies is tricky, as they&#8217;re at&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/2006\/09\/05\/fall-color-in-the-rockies\/\">Read the whole thing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tommangan.net\/twoheeldrive\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
