The good folks at I LOVE NY say vibrant peak foliage will be arriving at its final destinations in the Hudson Valley this weekend, according to reports compiled by volunteer field observers for Empire State Development’s I LOVE NY program. I LOVE NY defines “peak” as the best overall appearance the foliage will have during the season, considering color transition, brilliance and leaf droppage. Foliage change has been uneven this season and travelers may find that some areas classified as peak and near-peak contain an abundance of green leaves. Photo by Bob Quinn.
