Ski Packages

Here is a picture from our famous Andreas Halloween Parade! Great fun and lots of people! Funnel cake stands, hamburgers, hotdogs, etc., and the local Sportsman club opened up for everyone to have a great time and some refreshments on a crisp, harvest evening.

Well friends, I can't believe Halloween is over, and we are rolling right along into Thanksgiving and Christmas!! Blue Mountain ski packages are ready to go, so feel free to email or call us and get your ski on!

Fun Stuff!

It's a beautiful time of year, and there is so much going on in the "neighborhood" in terms of fall and holiday events. Handel's Messiah will be playing at the local opera house soon, and many fall festivals and harvest fairs are still in full swing. The vineyards and wineries are in quite busy with harvesting fall and approaching winter wines, and Galen Glen will be hosting a delicious pairing dinner this Saturday night, which of course, we will most definitely be attending!

So, get out your calendars, and schedule a weekend of fun, romance and relaxation...before you know it, it will be ski season and time to hit the slopes, so get your lazy weekend in before the winter fun begins!!

Beautiful Day at Hawk Mountain/ Bake Oven Inn

Well, it was an amazingly gorgeous day at Hawk Mountain, after a somewhat warm and wet weekend. Our guests had a lovely time, and apparently, the fall foliage has been bringing in tourists to our area in droves! We saw many happy hikers on the trails, and the birds were out as well.

After a nice, vigorous hike, Bake Oven Inn offers a *scrumptuous* and languid Sunday brunch, running from 11 am to 4 pm! That makes for the perfect relaxing Sunday afternoon here in Central PA!! If you are in our area, or a guest of ours, you should stop by the Bake Oven Inn and have an truly delicious gourmet lunch or dinner...their food is top notch!

Hawk Mountain Hike

Well, we had a very enjoyable hike up to the North Lookout today. The weather was fine, and the wind at a minimum. The trails are beautiful, just starting to show the foliage change.

We started at the South Lookout, and decided to be daring and head up the Escarpment trail. As we began our ascent, we noticed a paper notice nailed to tree warning the hikers of rattlesnakes...unfortunately, we saw none--that's correct, unfortunately. I would've LOVED to see a rattlesnake in it's natural environment, provided I didn't step on it or give it a kiss by mistake!

While climbing the Escarpment trail, I lost my binoculars case, but it was two aggressive of a trail to climb back down for it, so I decided to loop back around when we were heading back altogether...which we did, and were able to retrieve it.

The trails are very well marked, and of mild to moderate in their challenge. Some of the trails are dangerous, such as the Escarpment, but this is not a main trail, so you can choose to avoid this if you like.

At the end of our hike, we saw a group of black vultures roving low over the valley, giving us quite a show. They were amazing creatures, and I was excited to see them through my binoculars, at first, and then straight over head and literally feet in front of us...I'd never seen black vultures before, only turkey vultures, so this was a real treat.

Well folks, that's it for today! Be sure to book a fall foliage package, hiking package or wine country package, and enjoy this lovely weather and scenery for yourselves!!
