It's been a beauti-fall week at Grandfather, with more to come. Color progression really picked up in the last few days and we expect the views on and from the mountain to be nice the next couple of weeks. The mountain has extended hours on weekends for the rest of October so you can maximize your leaf-looking time. Here's a look at color on the mountain this week.
