Pocono Mountains Fall Foliage Report 2019 published here at Pocono Bike Rental and Outdoors
Pocono Mountains Fall Foliage Report September 21, 2019 -Though the early emergence of color can already be seen in many locations throughout the Northeast, the peak of colors will hold off for a while. “Pennsylvania fall foliage and the timing of the Poconos peak fall foliage season has experienced another round of summer-like temperatures, which is hindering color change,” states Tom Williams, owner of Pocono Bike Rental, a bike rental business located in the heart of the Poconos. “We are located at the entrance to the Nationally recognized Lehigh Gorge State Park (featuring 26 miles of Rail Trail Mountain Biking) which is deep inside 1,000 foot near vertical Lehigh Gorge walls offering it’s own unique Eco-system of temperature, humidity and sunlight.” “The Poconos fall foliage is affected greatly by this Appalachian Mountain altitude disparity especially being that the Pocono Plateau starts at over 1,200 feet above sea level and climbs to 2,200 feet affecting exposure to the rising and setting sun at a more shallow fall angles.”

ALERT – Late this coming weekend, temperatures return again to more unseasonable summer like levels and that should again momentarily delay the full emergence of the fall color spectrum.
The experts of The Pocono Mountains Fall Foliage 2019 Leaf Spotters have stated “The weather plays an important role in the timing and duration of the Poconos fall foliage season. In general, the best weather for the fall foliage features warm, sunny days and cool, crisp evenings. With respect to precipitation, occasional rain (not long duration heavy rain) is best.” So this may mean we may just have a extra lengthy visual performance with an encore set of coloring into November!
