fall colors

Central Minnesota is experiencing peak fall colors. Explore Minnesota's Alyssa Hayes joined me on WJON today. She says Central Minnesota is at peak now and will likely stay there for another 2 weeks or so. Hayes says northwest and northeast Minnesota are past peak.

It was such a nice day on Monday I decided to take my dog Norman for a walk through the Bob Cross Nature Reserve in Sauk Rapids.

Fall color change is picking up speed across most of the state, with the St. Cloud area approaching halfway to peak colors.

Fall colors are in their early stages across most of the state, with the St. Cloud area only just beginning to see some changes.

Minnesota's drought conditions may mute some of the brilliant colors as the leaves change this fall.

It is only mid September but the changing of the leaves has already begun in extreme northern Minnesota.

The extreme drought that Minnesota finds itself in is impacting more than just lawns and gardens. The severe lack of rain also has an impact on the fall colors.

So, if you're looking to chase some fall colors this weekend, here's where you're going to have the best luck!

According to the DNR, most of the state has seen the best of this year's fall colors come and go, but that doesn't mean there's not any beauty left our there.

The colors are peaking across Central Minnesota -- making this weekend great one for getting out to take it all in.

It's going to be another great weekend for fall color exploring here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Why not print off some Road-Tripin' Bingo cards.
