Moon Rising over Fall Foliage at Killington

Moon Rising over Fall Foliage at Killington

Even though temperatures have been in the 80's the last couple of days, there is no denying that winter will be coming soon. The majority of the trees around Killington are now showing their fall coats with the colors getting more vibrant every day.

"Peak Foliage" is becoming a question we are hearing more and more with each passing day. Historically, I have always felt that "Peak Foliage" in Killington was sometime during the first week of October. Last year, it was noticeably later, well into the second week. But this year, if I were to make a guess, I would say that peak in Killington should occur around the Columbus Day Weekend. Usually, Columbus Day Weekend is the second weekend of the month, but this year due to the calendar it is the first weekend.

Mother Nature is a capricious lady which makes the prospect of guessing the time for "Peak Foliage" just that... a guess. But no matter when it happens, Killington is a very pretty place to be in during this time of year.
