82508: Make Plans for Poconos Leaf Peeping
Although it's still several weeks away, it's time to make plans now for autumn's leaf peeping season. We've just received word from the Poconos Mountains Visitors Bureau that they'll again be offering their annual Fall Foliage Hotline; the region will also have numerous value-added packages and lots of fall festivals.The 24-hour Fall Foliage Hotline (570-421-5565) is also available online at www.800poconos.com to learn exactly when and where to catch peak foliage colors. The reports will include the percentage of full color, the estimated time leaves will be at their peak, the percentage of leaves on the trees and a description of native tree species at their peak.
Of special interest to romantic travelers, is the Fall Foliage Celebration Package, valid October 1-31, 2008 at Cove Haven Resort, Paradise Stream Resort and Pocono Palace Resort.
Caesars Pocono Resorts invites leaf-peepers to view the changing colors with a variety of activities at each property while enjoying suite accommodations, unlimited breakfast and dinner, intimate breakfast-in-bed and live entertainment every night. Mondays are “Nature Day” with designated nature walks; Tuesdays include free hayrides; Wednesdays guests can indulge in a free barbecue lunch; and Thursdays feature free horseback riding. Paradise Stream Resort will also host an on-property picnic for each couple including a picnic basket and blanket. Rates start at $230/night.
