Reply to Susan

Susan - I just came from Highlands this past weekend.  Colors were good in the valleys and lower areas, and even in Highlands, although just starting to get past peak.  However, it's supposed to get cold and rainy (even snowy!) starting Thursday/Friday, so that could take down a lot of leaves by the weekend.  Northern Georgia is peaking now, including Brasstown Bald, which is just below Highlands (it has a 360 degree view from a platform built by the US Forest Service).  Jocasse Gorges State Park would probably have good color, and the entrance is just east of Cashiers off of Highway 64. 
   Good places to view foliage: Sunset Rocks in Highland; Satulah Mt in Highlands.  Whiteface Mt just east of Highlands (you can drive most of the way there).  Brasstown Bald in northern Georgia; Gorges State Park.
Enjoy!
