Everything above 5000ft is peaking right now. I just had to drive down into SE Idaho and back this week, 550 miles round trip, and it was spectacularly beautiful because the way the sun was located the leaves were all back lit making the colors more vivid on the trip out. It was overcast on the way back and it was nearly as nice as the way down. It will all be gone by next week.

We don't have as many colorful varieties but they do cover the color palette.

When I got down around 4700ft things were just getting going.
