Hints of fall color appearing around Killington

While it is just beginning, in my travels around Killington this week there are distinct signs that fall colors are getting ready to make their annual appearance. Colors are not distinctive yet by any measure, but noticable changes are taking place. The Mid-September change is but a prelude to the colors of early October. But while those how may wish to cling to summer for a few more weeks will have their wishes granted, it it impossible to ignore that the season is changing.

Around the inn there are random splotches of color. The color is not highly pronounced. It is randomly mixed at the lower levels of many trees in the forest around the inn. A casual observer would still see a forest canopy layered in green. But looking more closely, the color is there for all to see.

Over the next few week, we will document the progression of colors around the inn with our daily fall folliage picture. The annual ritual of fall colors in Vermont is unique in the world, and we are blessed to have a front row seat right in the middle of it all.

Where ever you may be, keep it in the fairway, and savor the last days of summer.
