Iowa DNR Forester Mark Vitosh joins Talk of Iowa host Charity Nebbe to share the conditions that allow for a stunning leaf show. He also names some of the best vistas to view foliage as fall color peaks in northern Iowa, including Palisades-Kepler State Park, Lake MacBride State Park and Ledges State Park. You can keep track of how fall color is progressing across the state on the Iowa DNR website.
