ontario fall colours..
from www.theweathernetwork.com
The Fall Colour Progression report is produced each Monday and Thursday during the beautiful fall colour season in the province of Ontario.
This is the report for Thursday, September 23, 2004
Northern Ontario
In the far northwestern region of Ontario, there is 25% to 30% colour change shades of gold and yellow in the aspen, birch and ash trees in the Dryden region to Kenora and across to the Fort Frances area. The "Pin" cherry trees are showing some bright red and orange. An ideal route to enjoy the colours is highway 502 south of Dryden to Fort Frances. In Thunder Bay, there is a 25% change as this time. There are some small pockets of red in the maples as well as yellow and gold in the alder, birch and poplar trees. As the fall colour season continues there are many beautiful fall colour-viewing locations, in the north, including areas along highways 11 and 17 towards Kakabeka Falls. The north shore of Lake Superior across to the Sault Ste. Marie has progressed to about a 30% change at this time. The Agawa Canyon Tour train adventure, out of Sault Ste. Marie, is always an ideal fall colour excursion and they currently report the canyon at about 50% turned. Pockets of deep burgundy, bright orange and vibrant gold, are dominating the area.
In the northeastern region, the colours are gradually changing in the Kirkland Lake area to Temagami, with a 20% colour change at this time in the birch and poplar trees. Maple trees are starting to change as well with some nice pockets of colour now along highway 66 to Kirkland Lake. Over the next few weeks an ideal fall colour-viewing area is the fire tower lookout in Temagami, where there is a 25% colour change with some nice areas of gold from the birch trees and orange and red in the maples, at this time. The Sudbury area is reporting a 20% colour change. The North Bay region is offering a 40% change with some nice areas of colour now from North Bay south to Burk
