We headed that way by way of the Mass Pike and then south and into the Catskills , to which I had n't been before . Trees are just starting to turn so it was nearly all late - summer green . We got to the Resort in time for the evening dinner and then the bonfire and cup blessing , although it was rather nippy up in the mountains . And , well , it was a stretch to call it a bonfire .
According to the above context, choose the best option to answer the following question.
Question: Why would the leaves on the trees be turning color ?
Options:

 - None of the above choices .
