Crowds flocked for fall foliage ride on K1 to top of Killington Peak

Visitors to Killington this weekend were greeted with some of the nicest fall foliage viewing weather in recent memory. After a mild frost in the middle of last week, Indian Summer has settled over the region. Temperatures at mid day today were in the high 60's with full sunshine under a near cloudless sky.

Fall foliage colors are still holding up nicely in the immediate Killington area. The Killington basin is past peak. Most of the maple trees which were ablaze with red last week are starting to shed their leaves. Native oak trees have started to put on their burnt orange coat. The poplar trees are still tending to be green with some yellow tones coming through.

Guests have reported that color up close on the hiking trails around Killington is still quite spectacular. Many of our guests have hiked on Killington Peak this weekend to take in the views of the surrounding countryside. They were rewarded with mild temperatures and a beautiful clear sky.

Over the next week, Mary and I will begin turning our attention to preparing for winter. Ski season is just around the corner...we hope!
