Fall Color behind Green #2
at Green Mountain National Golf Course
in Killington

This morning we had a 9:30 AM tee time at the Green Mountain National Golf Course. The morning sun, as is usual for this time of year, was still low on the horizon when we started to play. The fall colors around the course were absolutely beautiful. The red maples, orange oaks, and yellow birches are all starting to show full color on eastern facing slopes in the morning sunshine.

Unlike in past years, where the color change was running late and muted, this year the leaves seem to be turning on their more natural schedule. While peak foliage is in the eye of the beholder, It does look to my eye that peak foliage in Killington will occur some time next week, especially if we have a few more frosty nights.
