Had to laugh as I met someone later that day stopped and took almost the same picture. That spot just screamed STOP!

Colors around Ely quite vibrant, especially in the morning or late in the day when the "west coast smoke filter" dials up the vivid setting. Maples and underbrush off to a fast start. Birch and aspen waiting in the wings.

Thanks buddy. That looks like its setting up nicely for pre-peak :)" You’re very welcome I think peak will be around the first week in October at least the birches should be all golden .

The colors on the maples are vibrant yellows, reds and bright orange.
The other trees are starting to change, just not as much yet.
The brushy bushes (many of them) are turning red, deep red/purplish and yellow). Some of the different colored wildflower Asters are more visible now too.

Zwater: "Spartan2: "We were on the Gunflint from September 6-12 and we could notice changes in just that time, but I wouldn't call it really colorful.
However, on Sunday the 6th we traveled out in the woods to Wild Country Maple Syrup to get our yearly supply for ourselves and gifting. There was quite a bit of nice color in those beautiful maple woods. This was west of Lutsen.
You should have color to enjoy by the 20th."
You gonna write a trip report?"
We didn’t take a canoe trip, just a cabin week. Not much of interest about canoe-tripping.

I noticed another frost last night, heading north today and pumped for some great weather and color.

Just spent last week up on the gunflint trail. We definitely noticed leaves changed from our arrival day to our departure day. The area up there is forecast to be frost free for a few weeks so the colors should linger
