Some through traffic on Friday, September 16 for the first time in nearly three weeks.

This part of the state is always first to show peak fall foliage; the upcom- Photographs by Dick Pollock ing cool nights and warm days will push the region into full color in the next few weeks. White Mountains Region: The red maples are starting to turn in the White Mountains region mostly in the marshy areas and lowlands, and along rivers, streams, and ponds. Occasional yellows are popping up and some tops of trees are showing a blaze or two of orange. Overall, the region has a ways to go before color really develops. In the meantime, the Kancamagus Highway is open with spectacular views, and the area is ready to welcome early fall visitors. Lakes Region: Green is the predominant color throughout the Lakes region, with just a few hints of red coming to life in the wetlands. It’s going to be a while before strong fall color hits this part of the state. There’s still plenty of time to enjoy late summer activities in this region, including boating, hiking, biking and scenic drives. Take advantage of the warm temper- atures and explore the 273 lakes and ponds in the area. Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region: Our leaf peepers in the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region are reporting little subtle changes in color throughout the landscape. There’s nothing drastic just yet, just spotty reds alongside waterways and low- lands. As the nights become cooler, the colors will soon begin to develop. Overall, the area is holding on to the lush greens of summer. Monadnock Region: The majority of the trees in the Monadnock region have not yet begun to change, although some of the outer edges of the maples are just starting to tip with some orange and red. Around Mount Monadnock, there are signs of change, with small blasts of yellow beginning to show. We hear there is a lot of red in the orchards – not on the leaves, but from the ready-to-pick apples. Merrimack Valley Region: The fall colors are just barely starting in the Merrimack Valley region, if you look closely. Some of the wetlands are showing flashy reds among the maples, and there are occasional sightings of yellow alongside brooks and streams. This area is known to change slowly, and then burst into color almost overnight, so look for more color change as the season progresses. Lewis10th Annual & White Scholarship Concert & Raffle
