Join a ranger for a lesson and short walk to learn why the leaves change color in the fall. Why do trees turn specific colors? What affects the peak fall color timing? Join a ranger at Boone Fork Parking Area to find out! We will only be walking around 0.5 miles on easy terrain, but make sure to dress appropriately for the weather. Boone Fork Parking Area is located at milepost 299.9 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
