She'll Be Coming Down the Mountain...

She's very subtle.  You'll first notice that little chill in the evening air.  Next you might hear sounds that make you think of her, the crackle of a late evening fire, a certain rustle of the leaves as you take a stroll along a trail, and then before you know it she's here! Lady Autumn has arrived in all her gloriously colored finery!

After experiencing Trackrock in the fall, I can say it's like no other fall season I've ever seen.  Surrounded by our beautiful mountains year-round, you start to notice, just at the tip-top, a difference in the shades of the trees.  As the days in fall go by you'll see that bit of color, the golds, reds, yellows and everything in between, slowly come down the mountain.  If you could fast forward a video camera and point it toward our mountains, I have no doubt Lady Autumn would appear to be pulling down a multicolored shade over the greenness of summer, just a bit at a time.  It's a sight to behold!

Now is the time to get out that light jacket, stack up the firewood, go for that late afternoon horse back ride or stroll and enjoy the ambiance of Mother Nature in all her shining glory.  Hot dogs, 'smores and campfire stories go well together around the crackle of the fire in evening-time. 

Folks visiting Trackrock can enjoy the laid back comfort of fall for weeks on end, starting late August and early September first with the deep reds and not ending until the last yellow leaf falls from the maples in November.  If you've never experienced it, why not start this year?

"October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came. The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, and leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, and everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band."  -George Cooper
