Trees around Birch Ridge Inn starting
to display fall foliage colors.
September 13, 2006 10:30 AM

It is somewhat of a dreary, damp, cold, day here at Killington. Solid cloud cover last night kept temperatures from dipping below freezing and creating frost, but temps were cold enough to cause the heat to turn on at the inn. From the smells outside last night, it was clear that many locals lit their wood stoves to generate some extra warmth.

Cold temperatures are rapidly accelerating changing colors on leaves on many trees in the area. Randomly through out the area you will see lone maple trees that have already turned bright red. Around the inn, most of the trees have just started to take on yellow and red hues, with the birches and the maples leading the way. We clearly have a few more weeks before consistent fall foliage colors blend through the forests around Killington. But it is plainly visible that the fall foliage season has started.
