Leaf Peeping Tips From Wintergreen Resort
The Leaves They Are A-changin’
WINTERGREEN, VA, September 5, 2007. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Wintergreen Resort makes this leaf peeping season a memorable one with myriad activities and events amid the colorful splendor of the changing foliage. Whether planning a fun-filled family vacation or a relaxing weekend pointing a camera, Wintergreen presents one of the most picturesque destinations for taking in the breathtaking mountain views enhanced by the glorious colors of fall.
To make the trip even more adventuresome, romantic, or awe-inspiring, Wintergreen offers the following suggestions:
Get a bird's eye view-on Saturdays, Wintergreen offers chairlift rides throughout October-the perfect photo opportunity.
Soar to great heights-Kids will flip over the bungee trampoline at Out of Bounds or scaling the climbing wall.
Follow the river-This is the best time of year for fly-fishing. Cast cares away by casting off to the sounds of a babbling creek, the bliss of a mountain breeze, and the sheer joy of fishing.
Back in the saddle again-Wander through valley trails on a scenic horseback ride with the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains as a romantic backdrop.
Blaze a trail-Explore surrounding forests with Wintergreen's marked hiking trails overlooking the Rockfish and Shenandoah valleys and up to 50-mile panoramas!
Learning is fun-The Treehouse and The Nature Foundation kids' programs help them enjoy as well as understand this spectacular season. Just how do those leaves change from green to red, yellow and gold, anyway?
Serving up-A great game of tennis is more pleasant in autumns' cool temperatures at Wintergreen's tennis facilities atop the mountain or down in the valley.
Get in the swing-Wintergreen's golf courses are easier to play in the fall, but the local wildlife and the surrounding vibrant colors may prove distracting on a four-foot downhill putt.
Whatever you leave behind, it shouldn't be the kids or the camera!
