Getting Ready for Fall
By Nate Feldman
With the cooling temperatures during the last week or so, autumn is definitely in the air. Knowing that, it is time to prepare for the season by thinking about where one can see the leaves changing colors. Fortunately, since I live in the northeast, I am surrounded by many wooded areas where the leaves turn a myriad of colors during the fall season. Here are some great places I have gone in recent years to enjoy the beautiful colors of fall:
1. Valley Forge National Historic Park, Valley Forge, PA. The best area here is next to the creek which runs between Mounts Misery and Joy beside route 252. The two mountains are densely wooded, so there are plenty of leaves to see there. Another part of the park which offers great scenery is along the Schuylkill River Trail near the Betzwood rest area.
2. Forest Park, Queens, New York, NY. I just discovered this place last year by accident. The woods get so deep in some parts that you forget you are in the middle of New York City. I came during the first week of November when the leaves' colors were at their peak. The colors were a magnificent maroon, orange, and yellow.
3. The streets of Berwyn, PA. My hometown is filled with wooded areas, so there are definitely a lot of places you can see beautiful colors if you just walk along the streets. Many of my best pictures of the fall foliage have come from my own backyard in recent years.
