According to Discover Flagstaff, you can track leaf changes using the meter with the following colors:
- Green (High and Low): These settings indicate that the leaves are either fully green in summer mode or starting to turn as indicated by low.
- Yellow (High and Low): This is peak color season and the high point of fall season.
- Dark Yellow or Orange (High and Low): This is after the peak color and usually indicates we are moving past peak season toward mostly fallen leaves.
- Red (High and Low): This is usually indicated by select areas of Sumacs, Maples like Oak Creek Canyon and the Arboretum.
The interactive map below shows areas around the state that have historically been great spots to catch fall colors.
