Autumn colors are peaking, but the San Juan National Forest says there’s still time for a day trip this weekend to take in the wonder of the season.

About 75 percent of the foliage from Dolores to Lizard Head Pass has changed, making it a prime area for viewing. The area from Mancos to the La Plata Mountains is about 60 percent changed. The areas from Telluride to Ouray and  Silverton/Red Mountain are about 75 percent changed. Anything over 50 percent is considered good for photography.

The Forest Service updates its fall color report frequently. To see which areas are turning, recommended viewing areas and peak periods, visit http://bit.ly/2y6UXnG.

The Journal wants to see your fall photos. You can email your photos to news@the-journal.com. In the subject line, enter “Montezuma Colors.” Tell us when and where you took the photo. We might use it in a photo gallery that we will post on our website.
