Driving from the south valley up into the Sawtooth National Forest is like driving through the entire fall season.
In Hailey and south of Ketchum, the predominant color is still green, with a few aspens just beginning to display their familiar fall gold. The trees on the streets of downtown Ketchum are starting to develop their fall displays, with red maples and a few oaks adding variety.
The degree and type of color displayed by the area's trees depends on a number of factors, said Deb Taylor, botanist with the Ketchum Ranger District. The late, wet spring the valley experienced might lead to a particularly good show this season, Taylor said.
