Thanks to rain and cool temperatures following an August drought, the Conservation Department predicts brighter fall colors.

If you want to see the foliage from your car, the department recommends Highway 94 between St. Louis and Jefferson City.

Wayne Wittmeyer is a state land specialist with the forestry division.
