Adler-Colvin says a cooler than normal August at Mohonk, coupled with many crisp nights lately, could trigger an earlier start to leaf-peeping season. The average peak through much of the lower Hudson Valley is mid-October. For much of Tri-State Area, it's late October into the first week of November.
