This is from the NOAA's color imagery of the Lake Superior Region. It's not a high quality image but I thought it was interesting from the viewpoint that it demonstrates where most of the hardwoods/Sugar Maples are located. I'm missing my usual Autumn trip to the U.P. this year.

Re: Autumn Satellite Imagery
My first trip to Isle Royale was in late September. Island Mine was absolutely gorgeous at that time of year! But the nights were very cold.

Re: Autumn Satellite Imagery
I've never been to Isle Royale when the leaves are changing colors...this makes me sad that I still haven't seen that.

Re: Autumn Satellite Imagery
Drove across the UP earlier this week--great color, somewhat past peak, but still gorgeous.

Re: Autumn Satellite Imagery
one of caltopo's base layers is a weekly high resolution satellite image. I've used the feature obsessively to try to gauge snow cover on routes I wanted to hike. It didn't occur to me that leaves would show up too! The most recent image of IR was occluded by cloud cover. This one, from a week ago, although partially clouded over, is pretty cool:

(I hope the link works. I think the images are refreshed on Thursdays.)
