Top of Carriage-way bathed in color.

Fall colors in the Killington Basin area are dazzling.

The cool nights and the moderately warm days have popped the colors around the area. Each day the colors are becoming more and more brilliant as the foliage marches towards "Peak Color".

Beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. It is always a very subjective matter to determine exactly when the color will be at it's peak. But, at least in Killington, the peak is approaching.

Most of the trees in the forest surrounding Killington are fully engaged in the process of having their leaves loose their chlorophyll(the chemical that makes them look green). While many still sport a green hue, many are also brilliantly showing their full fall regalia.

The next week in Killington will be the prettiest of the year; except, of course, if you like a knarly blizzard dumping snow on the mountain peaks. But winter blizzards will come soon enough...

Enjoy the fall colors where ever you may be.
