Your Sept 19-20 Weekend Activities Report

A quintessential fall weekend has arrived, and we’re prepped to make the most of it, especially in the first half! The sun dips below the horizon noticeably earlier than in months past, but the amount of daylight is still sufficient for journeys and adventures across the mountain. Before we get humming with our annual Fall Festival presented by Subaru, two weekends of mountain serenity await.

The colors are officially a-changin’ with roughly a quarter or so of our trees showing off their autumn colors, with more sure to follow their lead! The changing pigments make for a different landscape to take in every time you take a Scenic Gondola Ride, a worthy endeavor will be to monitor the differences. If you’d rather pay in calories than cash for the trip up the mountain, several miles of hiking trails split between the lower and upper mountain provide full-spectrum immersion in the foliage, with the payoff in the form of colorful views up top! Turning into a game, our 18-hole Disc Golf course remains open for play until October 11.

Right when the crescendo of color hits its peak, our annual pre-season celebration kicks off! Join us the first two weekends of October for our Fall Festival presented by Subaru at the Discovery Lodge, where the epicenter of upstate Autumn resides. Scenic Gondola Rides reveals painted landscapes below, live music rings into the atmosphere, and taste buds are satisfied with a smorgasbord of food options and trucks, with dozens of beers and ciders to wash it all down. Of course the little ones aren’t left out, as their imagination will run wild with all sorts of activities including pumpkin painting, balloon twisting, and more!
