Michelle Lutke Biggers and her hubby Brett recently took a drive to Painesdale along M-26 and found lots of color in that area. She mentioned that things are changing fast now and of course it all depends where you are... some areas are really flooded with color, while other areas are just beginning. This drive though is something else to see, color surrounds you on both sides of the road.

We’re on top of Brockway Mountain for a recent look at what the color is doing there. Michelle recorded this shorty after the photos above were snapped, so you can see the difference in the color cover at Brockway, compared to the trees near Painesdale. There was still quite a bit of green in the Copper Harbor area. But again, the leaves are changing fast right now.

Outstanding colors! And absolutely love the
Brockway video :) Not getting UP there on this
trip, but we are seeing a lot of that same vibrant
foliage around here, Sugar Maples are simply
Stunning!!!

It is so beautiful...how was the road going up the
mountain? I hear it's bad. It's been on the news
that the road needs to be repaved, but it will cost
approx 10 million dollars! I called Keweenaw
County Road Commission, and asked if they thought
of a "Go Fund Me", and put signs on top of the
mountain, and leave them in winter for
snowmobilers. He said "we talked about it". Then,
DO IT! (my two cents.)

Beautiful! We went out chasing color on Sunday.
It's not peak, but the beauty is amazing. Houghton
to Twin Lakes was my favorite, though the covered
road was nice, too. Copper Harbor wasn't there yet.
It's definitely gorgeous out there.

The Color seems to be at least a week behind "normal". A bright sunny day is so important to appreciate it all. Last Monday (10/5) was cloud free enough to see from the satellite.
