Killington K-1 Gondola Ride

An Amazing Way to Leaf Peep During Fall Foliage Season in Vermont

By , About.com Guide

A K-1 Gondola ride at Killington is an amazing way to leaf peep during fall foliage season in Vermont (or a fun summer adventure). In these photos, you'll see the leaves just starting to change and learn about making the most of a K-1 Gondola sky ride to the summit of Killington Peak, where a restaurant and observation deck afford views that stretch into five states and Canada. To confirm hours of operation, call Killington at 800-621-MTNS.

I took these photos during my family's Labor Day Weekend trip to Killington in 2008. My 5-year-old loved her first sky ride so much that she shouted "Again, again!" when we returned to the base. On the way up, we'd discussed the price of the tickets, so when we told her, "No," she cleverly and determinedly reminded us: "I was free, so I can ride again!"

We didn't allow her to ride alone, but we placated her with the promise we'd return to ride the gondola again some day.
