As the air turns cooler and the leaves begin to change their colors, I’m reminded of past years when our family or church groups took trips to places where the colors were expected to be spectacular. Alabama has some really great places to view large areas of tree color in the fall. Mentone, Little River Canyon, Buck’s Pocket, Cheaha Mountain State Park, and Guntersville offer impressive views from high elevations that look out across large, forested areas. When I was younger, our family would take trips to the mountains of South and North Carolina, north Georgia, and east Tennessee. We would camp, and drive all through the mountains to see the array of colors on mountainsides. Stopping the car at scenic overviews gave impressive sights of the variety of colors to be seen. On my bucket list of places to visit is New England, especially Vermont and Maine, to see the bright colors of trees in the fall. Maple trees are famous for their bright colors and mixed with other trees, makes for beautiful viewing. You don’t have to travel to enjoy the fall colors. In certain years, Hartselle has produced some of the prettiest trees you’ll ever see in...
