The region is now showing more color, with nearly all areas reporting low color (11% – 30% change). Many of our spotters have reported that the early color is bright and that bodes well for a great foliage season. If you are planning a trip this fall, now is the time to make reservations!
Plan to visit Glacier National Park in early October for picture-perfect fall foliage. The maple trees shine brightly with hues of yellow, orange and red, while larch and aspen trees turn to yellows and gold. And all the trees are scattered amongst evergreens, creating a canvas of stunning contrasting colors. Yellowstone National Park contains hundreds of species of mammals. Birds, fish and reptiles have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most famous megafauna location in the Continental United States. Grizzly Bears, wolves, and free-ranging herds of bison and elk live in the park. The Yellowstone Park Bison Herd is the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States. Yellowstone also has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing and sightseeing.
