My day started in Wellsboro, where I took a quick lap around downtown near The Green, a public park featuring several statues, historical monuments, and a fountain.

Across the street from The Green, there was vibrant color to be observed near the Tioga County Courthouse.

Just about everywhere I looked, the leaves were changing and the scenery was outstanding.

The foliage in the PA Grand Canyon is still several days away from peak, but that certainly took nothing away from the views.

I made the short hike out to Otter View, which offers a south-facing view of the Pine Creek Gorge.

I first stopped off at the Barbour Rock Trail in the Tioga State Forest, where the foliage seemed more vibrant than the eastern side of the canyon.

If you’re headed to Tioga County this weekend, you can expect to find foliage nearing it’s peak in some places and still a few days away in others, but all in all a perfect time to visit the PA Grand Canyon and nearby places like Wellsboro.
