Running from late September through mid-November, this tour invites families and nature lovers to immerse themselves in the vibrant colors of autumn. The tram gently winds through the resort’s scenic grounds, showcasing towering hardwood forests ablaze with crimson, amber, and gold hues, where oak, maple, and birch trees dominate the landscape. Along the ride, guests can experience the crisp mountain air and the soft rustle of falling leaves underfoot.

For those interested in local history, the inn itself dates back to 1911 and has long served as a gateway for recreational outdoor activities in this part of Pennsylvania.

This Fall Harvest Tram Tour stands out as both an accessible and immersive way to celebrate the season’s bounty. It highlights the regional charm while encouraging outdoor appreciation during a brief but stunning natural showcase.
