Various other regions have the gall to assert that they've got good foliage. Please sumit your best Northeastern foliage shots from this year to:
2009 Northeast Fall Foliage album.

I'm planning to whip up some code in a custom object that will show the best photos from each region's album side by side.

Shenandoah NP is a cold snap, some rain, and a week or two until it is poppin' based on my observations two days ago.

No limits on the amount you take. Really, take it all. Please. Anytime during the next four to six weeks is fine.

Man I was just up in your area, the trees are out of control! I can't wait till they get like that down here in southern PA!

You want photos from the Northeast? Or do you want photos from NY and New England? Last time I checked NJ was in the Northeast, but most people assume we have nothing to hike here. The reason I ask is because the thread says best photos from the Northeast, and then the album says NY and New England.

I vote for WISCONSIN:

What, New Jersey isn't part of New York? Sure, bring 'em in, the album's pretty empty right now. I was going for an area roughly comparable in size to a Western state, adding New Jersey won't make a difference.

Hey, I like hiking in NJ, but I'm pretty sure only North Jersey is in NE - the rest is Mid-Coast?...

I'll get around to throwing up some photos by the end of the week. Hey, NJ is all I got for you this year. I'm on the injured reserve list, so I couldn't make it to the big game up in NY or New England. But yeah it looks disappointing in the album so far. There's been some amazing color out there. The Northeast has the best color overall I would say. But other regions all have their own unique charm. I was in Alaska one year, and so many of their trees turn to gold. It was one color but when you looked out at a sea of gold, and snow capped mountains, it was amazing.

I see some new photos have been put up. So it's looking better!
