Dear Snehal - Thanks for your post on the blog about when to come up.  I think that colors this year will peak slightly early in the Boone / Grandfather Mt. area.  The usual peak is around October 14th.  I think this year it will be closer to Oct 10th.  There will still be color on the 21st, but in this area, that will probably be past the peak.  By then, most of the red leaves will have fallen off and the landscape will be mostly yellow/orange.  So, you'll have to make the decision when to come, but earlier is probably better than later.
