Autumn Colors

DW is concerned about the viewing of the color of the trees on our trip. Leaving StL with stops at Chickasaw State Park, TN, then either Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, Brierfield Ironworks Historical State Park, or Oak Mountain State Park before heading to St. Andrews SP

I think the route through Tennessee and Alabama should have some good color at this time of year.

For our part we are going to come up your way into northern Arkansas and southern Missouri (Branson area--not necessarily Branson itself)--mostly in Arkansas. We have seen some spectacular leaves around Fayeteville, AR in the past. We might be a week early, but we are ready to go. We will enjoy it whatever the seasonal color.

We have stayed a couple of times at least at Tannehill Ironworks State Park. Just get there before Halloween as they are usually filled to capacity on that night. We were there one Halloween, but that was before it has become so popular. It was great then, I don't think we'd enjoy the crowds as much as it is now.
