Drove the Talimena Scenic Drive today between Talihina OK and Mena Arkansas expecting to see some fall colors. Nothings turned yet. 
200 mile trip down there today and saw a bunch of green trees.

Still early for color down there these days. Poteau to Broken Bow might work better this weekend.

Thanks. 
After the scenic drive I drove from Mena to Fort Smith and didn't see a lot of changes. The only orange and yellow I saw were vest on road construction workers.
Saw a FB post from someone claiming they took this picture below back on October 25th. One of the Talimina Scenic drive sites shared this picture an hour ago and said there should be better color this weekend.
I think they are all color blind it was 98% green.
Still had a good time today.

Odd year in that about the time for full color, hard freeze cut things short. But I'm north and east of green country. Guessing it's better on hwy 59.
Pretty shot all the same.

One of the best is Colonial Parkway between Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown. Another is up around Pigeon Forge

The color has been muted around my neck o the woods. My Pops says it’s due to the drought. I’ll go with that, he’s seen a lot more Falls around here than I.

That groups not bad. I have heard of them just never paid attention to their music.
I saw more a lot of color in the trees driving North up I-35 towards Kansas yesterday.
My favorite time of the year is that fall.

If you can make it to NW Arkansas the next day or so is the time to do it. The trees have pretty much turned and we are having freakishly warm weather so you can enjoy the view without freezing your behind off.
Let us know if you do come through the area and we'll suggest some good places to eat. NW Arkansas is a foodies paradise.

Arksulli Thanks for the report !!
I won't be able to get out that way this year but will keep this thread bookmarked. Last week was my small window to get away for a while . I have family in NW Arkansas and it definitly beautiful driving through that area.

Took two weeks off to travel the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, and bits of West Virginia in mid-October.. West Virginia had the most fall color, by far. Blackwater Falls was absolutely gorgeous.. Was going to come back through Arkansas to see the Ozarks, but missed out on that

My favorite drive is from Branson, MO. down to Roger, AR. Got all of Big Cedar's property at the start of Hwy. 86 and then you get to go through Roaring River State Park and the Mark Twain National Forest before you get to Seligman, MO. Next you pass by the Pea Ridge Battleground and into Rogers.

I bet that was an amazing drive.
Stuttgart Tiger one fall I drove across Missouri one year from Kentucky and the colors were awesome that year. Where I live in Oklahoma we have a little color but not a lot.

I like the drive out of Ft. Smith, heading south to Poteau and then down through the Ouachita National Forest.
