Fall Foliage
It takes approximately six weeks for the leaves to transition in color, starting from late September and continuing through early November. This transformation commences at higher elevations and gradually descends the mountain. This site stands out as one of the few tourist destinations offering such a remarkable shift in altitude. Depending on the time of year, visitors can witness the striking contrast of nature’s palette, from lush green foliage at the mountain’s base, to vibrant red autumn leaves in the middle, culminating in the pristine white snow at its peak.
