Birch Ridge Inn Property Panorama

Birch Ridge Inn Property Panorama

Just a beautiful early fall - late summer day. Temps are touching 80. The humidity is moderate. There is a light breeze. Just the perfect day to be outside enjoying the Green Mountains.

We took a 1 hour walk about earlier today. The countryside is just coming alive with color. Today's picture is a good example. It was shot looking back towards the inn from about 3/4rds of a mile away, across the Roaring Brook Valley. In the middle of the shot, you can see the front hill of the inn and the inn's sign on the Killington Road with the top half of the covered carriageway behind. The inn is not visible as it is behind a stand of trees.

From the picture, you also get a sense of how close the inn really is to the mountains. The next ridge line behind the inn are the major mountains in the area including from left to right: Killington Peak, Snowdon, Rams Head, Little Pico, and Pico Peak. Skye Peak is just outside of the frame to the far left.

It should be a great weekend to visit Central Vermont. If you are in the Killington area, stop bye. Where ever you may be, keep it in the fairway....and as it is now officially Fall, remember the leaf rule....
