IT’S TIME FOR THE POCONO MOUNTAINS’ FALL FOLIAGE HOTLINE
POCONO MOUNTAINS, Pa., August 21, 2009 – The Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania will usher in the stunning colors of autumn with the annual Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau’s (PMVB) 24-hour Fall Foliage Hotline. Leaf peepers can learn exactly when and where to catch peak foliage colors throughout the four-county region calling the hotline at 570.421.5565 or logging on www.800poconos.com from September 8 – November 2, 2009.
“Generally, the leaves tend to change colors simultaneously, but with three zones within the Pocono Mountains, the foliage can peak at different times throughout the region,” stated PMVB President and CEO Carl Wilgus. “The fall foliage reports will provide specific information on these zones so people will know exactly where they can view the peak foliage.”
Reports include the percentage of full color, estimated time leaves will be at their peak, percentage of leaves on the trees and a description of native tree species at their peak. Information will be provided by the three regional Bureau of Forestry Offices representing the Northern, Central and Western zones. The PMVB will update the reports on the hotline and Web site weekly.
A short drive from most major northeast metropolitan areas, visitors to the four-county region will find the Pocono Mountains more convenient than New England and equally awash in color; before traveling, they can call the 24-hour Fall Foliage Hotline (570.421.5565) or go online to www.800poconos.com to learn exactly when and where to catch peak foliage colors.
