Fall color is happening at Hoyt!  Currently, the best display of color can be found in our Ash and Maple Collections.  The photo above was taken on 10/12/12 in the Ash Collection.  When visiting, look for the collections noted on our new maps and make sure to walk the Mpale Trail and Overlook Trails for the great views!
