Trees show off their autumn colors along the Verde River at Dead Horse Ranch in Cottonwood, Arizona.

It may still be heading to 90 degrees in the Phoenix area, but you can feel it — fall is on the way.

It’s under 100 degrees, there's pumpkin everything at the grocery store and the mornings are almost chilly.

The Show spoke with him to learn where to find fall colors around the state, and, as Halloween approaches, where to find a good haunt as well.
