Nelson County, Virginia

If you want to see the peak colors of fall this weekend would be the time to go! For the first time in the last three to four years fall colors are perfect and on fire. The picture above was coming down 664 toward Beech Grove on October 24th. Colors were already peaking and now are right in the sweet spot.

Colors on top of Devils Knob are at peak. This photo was shot coming down the mountain from the resort on Tuesday – October 24th, 2023

Even down below in the valley portions of Nelson trees are near peak. This photo was shot on October 20, 2023 in Roseland / Bryant. Colors have since reached peak and leaves will began rapidly falling soon.
