 Want to know where to find the best fall colors in Wisconsin? Just check your smartphone.

The Wisconsin Department of Tourism has launched a mobile version of its Fall Color Report, making it accessible by smartphone. The report tracks the progress as autumn comes to Wisconsin's 16 million acres of forests. It provides updates from all 72 counties.
Travelers can also submit their own reports of current conditions from their mobile devices.

You can also sign up for weekly emailed reports. They're sent out on Thursdays to give people time to make weekend plans.

Apparently fall is a popular time for travelers to take in the state's scenic beauty. The state says travelers spent nearly $3 billion during last year's autumn season.
