Kentucky Color: Peak Color Alert By Billy Joe Fudge In recent weeks the Cumberland Parkway Kaliedoscope of Color from Columbia to Glasgow has been composed primarily of edge trees. Edge trees such as Sassafras, Sumac, Dogwood, Black Gum, a few Maples and Poplars, among others and located especially from Columbia to Edmonton. Deep oranges, reds of innumerable hues, a plethora of purples and yellows against a backdrop of mature forest trees of green and highlighted by the interspersed black greens of Eastern Red cedar, have been mind-blowingly enjoyable. Right now however, the event has morphed from edge trees to almost exclusively, nuanced yellows of mature Maples, Hickories, Elms, Poplars, some Oak and Sycamore. Although the entire drive is beautiful, the jaw-dropping display of color at present is from Edmonton to Glasgow. Neither the colorful mountainsides of the Smokies, the Maples of Vermont and New Hampshire, or Quaking Aspen in the Rockies have anymore breathtakingly, heart stopping natural beauty than do the forests of the Great Wooded South. Each year this Cumberland Parkway Kaleidoscope of Color becomes more memorable, so don't miss it this year. If you have the energy to lift yourself off the couch, the money to put gas in the car and maybe a good camera with which to take pictures to share with those who don't, then get on the Cumberland Parkway before the rain and wind erases this year's show.
