KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Trees across the Kansas City area will soon start to change colors as the temperatures cool off and we lose daylight.
In the Kansas City area, fall colors will likely peak in mid- or late-October.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has weekly updates on which trees are changing and where to get the best views of the changing foliage with its fall color report that runs now through November.
"Our weekly fall color updates are a great resource for the public," said MDC Forestry Field Programs Supervisor Russell Hinnah.
"Foresters begin posting reports in mid-September that show users where trees are beginning to turn and even suggest great places to see changing leaves."
The fall foliage is the perfect excuse to take a long drive or a day trip.
