The leaves will start changing color soon to the stunning reds, yellows and oranges that we all adore.

This week according to The Arkansas Tourism Department,

Areas with higher elevations in the Ozarks and the Ouachitas are the first to experience changing hues, making this week a great time to travel through northwest and central Arkansas.

You can sign up for their weekly updates on the fall colors that are taking place and where.

Of course, the northern portion of the state will see the colors change first and the tips of those leaves are already starting to change. The best time in Arkansas to see all of the beautiful colors will be in late October to mid-November.
