Additional Notes: The prime season for this location is when the fall leaves our out (October 1 – 15th). The fall leaves will shed earlier than down in the valley since it is a higher altitude. The pictured photos below with fall colors were taken on October 11th. Try to avoid photos at this location Friday-Sunday. It can tend to get overcrowded with people on the weekends. I highly recommend bringing a warm jacket even during the summer months. Dogs are not allowed.
