North Georgia fall colors finally explode into peak season

Fall color is finally bursting across North Georgia after a slow start, with vibrant reds and golds now peaking above 3,000 feet. Chief Meteorologist David Chandley guided viewers through stunning scenes from Towns, White, Murray and Union counties — including Fort Mountain, Hog Pen Gap and the Richard B. Russell Parkway — and highlighted top scenic routes and even the Mountain Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville as weekend leaf-watching hotspots.
