One
of nature’s greatest shows on earth takes place in
the North Carolina Mountains in October as turning leaves
paint the autumn landscape.
Nothing is more glorious than Autumn in the mountains. The
brilliant leaf color painting the countryside with splashes
of yellow, orange and crimson are a sight to behold.

FALL LEAF COLOR GUIDE
Here is a short list of some of the trees you are likely to
see as you travel to Bear Creek.
The
large blossoms that make the magnolias famous
are long gone by this time of year. The leaves of the trees,
however, turn a greenish-brown during this season.
Oaks generally turn a deeper, more brown
red than maples.
Sourwood is among the best known trees of
the region because of the fine honey bees produce from its
nectar. In the summer, sourwoods have beautiful sprays of
bell-like flowers. The remnants of these, in the fall, contrast
with a deep, rich red that is unique to this tree's leaves.
The leaves of beech trees turn a light brown
color.
Birch tree leaves turn a light to brilliant
yellow.
Sumac is easy to spot because of its brilliant
red leaves. While often shrub-like, there are some older sumacs
here that actually reach tree-sized proportions.
The leaves of black gum trees turn a deep
burgundy color.

Maples
are among the most colorful trees in the forest. Their broad
leaves often change to brilliant red, though
some turn yellow.
Mountain ash trees put on a rich display
of light reddish leaves.
