I am sure many of you have been to Lost Maples (one of my favorites in the Hill Country) but thought I would share this updated fall foliage information with you so you in case you decide to take a magical drive while at the rally. I have tent camped and RV'd through the Hill Country many times and to me, it's one of the most beautiful wonders of Texas. Enjoy and takes lots of pictures :)

Lost Maples State Natural Area - 2009 Foliage Color Change Report (Updated weekly from October through November) A few of the smaller Maples that are high on the ridges; or away from the river have turned. We are still waiting for cold nights to kick off the normal fall changes. Most of the Black Walnuts and Sycamores have started turning yellow, they are normally the first to turn every year. The weather is predicted to be warm and cloudy this week with chances of rain most days. This will not be conducive for foliage change. We need a few nights in the thirties to kick off the change. This usually happens a little later in October. We do have a few spots of color on the ridges on the one mile drive in the Park and on the ridge on East Trail going back to Primitive campground A. This is a good time to come out as the heat of summer is over and nights are in the 60’s which makes for comfortable camping.
