My family and I will be down next week. Have the leaves on and around the park started to change?

Not sure about the park but at the hotel, nothing yet. I'm trying to find the website I was on last year that will pretty much pin down when the leaves will start changing in Missouri. When I find will post the link. We get lots of guests that come for the "changing of the leaves" season so I need to be ready. Last year changed dates on quite a few reservations for about 2 weeks until the leaves changed!  :D

Ok these two sites are the ones I think. Pretty sure the second was the one I followed as they "drive" and update.

It seems like the leaves are changing very slowly this year. Perhaps, I am just overly anxious. However, the trees seem to mostly be green, and yellow. :)

From central IL to St. Louis, it's starting to look pretty good; especially, over the weekend.  Central IL is always about a week or so behind Branson, so I imagine by Oct. 15 it should look GREAT down your way.

I am hoping for amazing color this year, but the lack of rain this past summer wont help that fact.....

We have many leaves down that have just gone from green to brown :-( I don't like it when they skip the fall colors

Wow, those are some great pics. I guess I always assumed everything that grew in the Rockies was evergreens. Obviously that's not so!

The yellow leaves up there are something else! They are very rich, and vibrant. I may have to start looking closer at Colorado during the autumn months. :)
