Late September finds ash and sugar maples transformed to brilliant reds- at higher altitudes and visitors to the highest moun tains in Eastern America ''recog nize them as heralds of color thatj by the first week in October begin j clothing the, mountains from 2,000 to 6,000 feet report the travel con sultants of the N- C. State Motor Club. The mountain color display is from mid-September until mid- November and usually attains its widest range and brightest tints during the. middle two weeks in October. Within these periods it varies according to altitude and predominance of certain species of hardwood. At altitudes of 5,000 feet or above, some trees wear their full autumn finery by the first week in October. Below 3(000 feet and in the foothills, the best coloring may appear in late October and continues for the next two or three weeks. The color parade begins late* across the Piedmont and Coastal Plain and often lasts until' late November. October has become one of the favorite travel months in Western North Carolina, and with every hghgway and resort a showcase for autumn foliage, almost all tourist facilities remain open to accomodate the increasing of visitors who are discovering the beauty of u ie highlands when their vast forests of hardwoods turn to crimson and gold. Western North Carolina, where there ar e 223 peaks of 5,000-feet elevation or more, is the meeting place of the two most-visited Nat’l Park facilities in the land: the Great Smoky Mountains Nat’l Park and the Blue Ridge Park way. Both are so popular during tlie autumn color season that October attendance now rivals f'YLON SAFETY! TUBELESS SAFETY! J "~ t~T "ffTTiTw wi ii drive - WORRY -FREE!

Travelers on a “Weekend op Wheels” can enjoy North Caro lina’s autumn beauty without leaving main highways, many of them new or newly-improved dur ing the last year. For those who want to get off the beaten path, there are numerous side roads and hiking trails connecting with paved routes' through Pisgah and I Nantahala National Forests, the | ! Great Smokies Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway, designed .solely for vacation travel and in North Carolina following a right-of-way averaging over 3,000 feet in eleva tion, is famous for the close-ups and sweeping vistas it affords motorists. Paved motor roads and main highways connect the Park way with resorts and scenic at tractions, and the summit of Mt. Mitchell, highest peak in Eastern America, is accessable from the Parkway by a paved state high way. Other mountain- peaks access ible by motor roads are Grand father and Roan Mountains and Mount Jefferson, near the Park-- way; and Wayah Bald ' Mtn. in Nantahala Nat’l Forest, White side Mtn, near U.S. 64 in the Sap phire Country southwest of Ashe ville, and Clingman’s Dome, high est peak in the Great Smoky Mtns. Nat’l Park. From Soco Gap on U. S. 19 west of Asheville, a spur of the Blue Ridge Parkway leads up to Mile-High Overlook, where it meets the Great Smoky Mtns. and connects with a paved road up to Heintooga Overlook in the Park. Across the Great Smokies and Blue Ridge Mtns., every highway gives you a front row, center seat at one of the greatest autumn foliage shows in America. As you drive from one altitude to anoth er, there is endless variety in the combinations of crimson, gold and bronze which mingle with the dark evergreens. Here for sure is a colorful "Weekend on Wheels”, promise the Motor Club’s travel experts. look for tho tign of | WORRY-FREE driving I Wordsof Life “Wisdom” a 16.
