Fall Colour Report, 9.26

I'm interested by this:
Algonquin Park is progressing very quickly. We have a 35% colour change near the west gate (highway 60) to Algonquin with beautiful pockets of bright red, orange and gold. The colour has advanced near the east gate area to about a 20% change. An ideal viewing location in Algonquin Park is the world class visitor centre. The view from the deck, to the south, is always outstanding but especially nice during the fall. Ragged Falls just off highway 60 outside the west gate to the park also offers an ideal viewing location.
because SI and I were there on Saturday (rode the Minnesing bike trail and did two quicky walks incl. Ragged Falls). I would say that next weekend would be spectacular for colour in the Hwy 60 corridor. If I wasn't at a wedding on Saturday, I would almost certainly head up for camping/canoeing/hiking/biking/whatever. Seriously - this weekend (Oct 1 & 2) should be the peak viewing time.
