Which colors does the fall foliage turn in your region?
I built a map for @ExploreFall based on 200+ tree species and forest types, individually researched to find the color of the leaves in autumn.
Let's explore region by region for the USA: 🧵
First, a quick overview of the colors you'll find in the USA.
-Evergreens stay green! They won't change in the fall.
-Aspen/Birch family turn the brightest yellow
-Oak/Hickory forests are the most common, and turn orange
-Maple forests turn orange and red

INSANE conditions on Mt Washington, NH. 120mph+ winds and -95°F wind chill. It is above the tropopause, meaning that these are stratospheric winds.

Contrast adjusted for better detail (and added some wind sound so it's not silent).
