Everything is shaping up to be a beautiful Columbus day weekend in Vermont.

Fall colors in the Killington area are starting to pop. The forest behind the inn is almost fully engaged in the fall spectacle. The tree tops have all started to change. The tree midsections are still showing green, but changes are starting to become evident upon closer inspection.

The sceen outside the inn towards the north along the Roaring Brook valley in Killington is beautiful. The reds, oranges, and yellows of the maple, oak, and birch trees are creating a watercolor like scene. With todays bright pastle blue sky, visitors to Vermont today have got to be thrilled.

The forecast calls from showers tomorrow. Given the state of the trees in the Killington area, I would not expect much in terms of color loss, assuming we do not have high winds with any squalls going through the area. After that, the weekend looks bright and cool. Perfect for touring around to take in the fall show.

In the mean time....Wherever you may be... hit them straight... keep it in the fairway... and start contemplating the fall leaf rule if you are out on the course.
