Final Weekends of Beautiful NY Fall Foliage-See It From High On The Mountains

There are many wonderful ways to enjoy the brilliant colors of fall in upstate New York. But this may be one of the last weekends to do so.

You might go for a leisurely drive through the Adirondacks, where every curve in the road reveals another hillside brushed with shades of red, orange, and gold. Those traditions are timeless, but there is another option that takes the season’s beauty to a whole new level.

Instead of keeping your feet on the ground, you can rise above it all and see the autumn landscape from the sky. Just a short drive north, the mountains open up to some of the most breathtaking views available.

Several ski resorts offer scenic lift rides during the fall months. These rides give you the chance to float quietly above the treetops and take in the full sweep of color that spreads across the valleys and mountains.

Six resorts are inviting visitors to experience fall from above. In the Northeast, you will find Sugarbush, Okemo, Stowe, Killington, Stratton, and Mount Snow. Each one provides a unique perspective on the rolling mountains and forests that are alive with color.

From the lift, the entire landscape feels like a living painting. Vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange stretch as far as the eye can see, creating an unforgettable memory of autumn in the Northeast.
