Taken week of October 1, 2019
We're continuing our series of fall color bulletins from Abingdon, VA!

The trees are beginning to turn, mostly at higher elevations, like this week's photo by Justin Harris, taken from Holston Mountain. Some trees are getting a tinge of color even at lower elevations, including maple trees on Main Street Abingdon!
Tips from a local: Justin Harris
Justin Harris is the owner of White Blaze Hiking, a new outdoor company that takes guests on guided hikes - including family-friendly and more challenging routes. Based in Abingdon, White Blaze Hiking will even pick up guests at their lodging and provide snacks or lunch!

Justin is a native of Southwest Virginia, and has been exploring the trails of this area all his life.

"I feel like with the forecasted rain and really cool overnight low temperatures next week that color will begin to show up mid-late October and will last into early November, unless we have strong winds that bring them down in November."

White Blaze Hiking is offeri ng a scheduled, 3-mile hike to view the foliage on the Brumley Mountain trail Saturday October 19th.
