WOODLAND PARK, COLO. -- Fall foliage is the best it's been in years, depending on who you ask.

There has been various moisture, but no major storm this fall. Leaves have remained on the trees longer, and the leaves, according to some residents, are even more vibrant, exhibiting more and different colors.

Peak viewing will only last until the middle of October or the first wind or winter storm.
