Autumn is in the air! Now that school is back in session and Labor Day has come, we are on the cusp of another spectacular fall season in Alexandria. Regardless of the intensity of the hues, one thing is always for sure… slightly cooler temperatures make for a perfect outdoor excursion!

Typically the best times to see fall colors in the Alexandria area are from mid/late September to early October.

The following pictures were taken over the first weekend in September:
The sumac along the trails is typically one of the first to change. As you can see, they are already displaying some red colors.
