Fall Color Hotline Report: 1 800-354-4595
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, hints of things to come can be found in the high country. The careful viewer can spot signs of the impending color change. With favorable weather conditions, the color should begin to intensify during the next week or so. With luck from the weather, there could
be good color into the second week of October, or past, in some areas.
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/grassland by clicking on the forest/grassland
name below to be taken to their report page.
