Autumn Guide ↗ expects the peak at Kent Falls State Park around October 16. The estimate is for that one spot; slopes higher or lower nearby can turn earlier or later.

Photographs of Litchfield Hills & Kent and the country around it, newest first, with cameras around the place and beyond. Each is shown with the day it was taken.
