BRP 300 Mid October 2008
A quick run down the Blue Ridge Parkway just ahead of a cold front bringing winds and rain took us from Blowing Rock south 
to Grandfather Mountain. We got on the parkway just after the clouds had arrived so the brilliant color had become somewhat subdued. Still we got a feel for the season.
The above photo was made at Moses Cone Manor and the bottom one at Stack Rock Creek just south of Grandfather Mountain around mm 300. Lots of color, just ahead of the peak. Birches still in full leaf and completely yellow. Maples varying from yellow to green with lots of orange and reds showing. Around Stack Rock Creek the balsams brought their dark, dark greens into the picture along with sumach and some oaks showing early.
