Fall Color Off to a Good Start in Western Upper Peninsula
Michigan's annual fall color show is off to a good start across the far western and northern Upper Peninsula, but the peak is not expected for at least two weeks, reports AAA Michigan.
AAA's weekly survey of state parks and regional visitor's bureaus shows minimal color in most areas of the U.P.; however, in the Ontonagon area, as well as Crystal Falls and Ishpeming, colors are developing at a slightly faster pace. Naturalists at Porcupine Mountain State Park report that the reds and yellows of the maples and birches are between 5 and 10 percent developed, well ahead of last year at this time.
In the Copper Harbor area color development is between 5 and 10 percent. Recent dry conditions may cause some leaves to fall early. Across the rest of the U.P. and Northern Lower Peninsula, color is just beginning to appear.
