The Rocky Mountain Region manages 17 national forests (NF) and 7 national grasslands (NG) throughout Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and most of South Dakota and Wyoming. Throughout the Rocky Mountain Region, winter has nearly completed its pace to overtake autumn. All of the forests in the Rocky Mountain Region who reported their conditions, stated that their fall colors have peaked and most of the leaves have dropped due to increasingly severe winter weather. However, it may be possible to see a tree or two at lower elevations. But even that may be overstating the true conditions. This will be the last fall color report for 2008!
This page will be updated weekly with reports from each of the national forests and grasslands in the Rocky Mountain Region. Get more information about each forest or grassland by clicking on the forest or grassland name below to be taken to their report page. You can visit the National Fall Color Report Web site to see fall color reports from other Forest Service regions around the country.
