Fall in Alaska

    Fall usually arrives with colors in Alaska, but here in the midwest, I am still waiting. In Alaska fall happens early. You can expect to see the colors changing late August, early September. 

    The vegetation around Fairbanks is spruce mixed in with some birch and aspen. A typical boreal forest. Everything starts turning color almost at the same time, the fireweed, the birch, the salix, yeah everything. 

    By the middle of September the first frost has likely even happened. 

    Oh Tycho, I bet he misses the Alaskan Fall..

    Did Fall arrive where you are??
