For Best Color in Park
Following 6everal days of rain, cool nights and sunny days now dominate the weather picture in Shendandoah National Park, and with the change more definite signs of fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains are apparent, Superintendent R. Taylor Hoskins reported today. Color changes in the forest cover have been slow because of the rains, but field reports from the three administrative districts in the Park indicate a good possibility of a near normal situation for this time of year, according to Hoskins. This would mean the best color might be expected between October 10 and 20 as in the past, he added. The district field reports are as follows: North (Front Royal to U. S. 211) - Although the predominant color is still green, large patches of mixed color are showing up on many of the slopes. Generally, the oaks have not begun to turn, but some change is noted in the areas of Mileposts 16 and 21. Central (U. S. 211 to U. S. 33) - The most prominent display for the upcoming week will be in the maple, dogwood, I black gum, hickory, sumac,
[and Virginia creeper. For distant
viewing, Stony Man and jHawksbill Mountains present a great array at their summits.
South (U. S. 33 to U. S. 250) - A good variety of mixed color
