Windham Mountain:Bike, Hike, and Golf Into Fall

Hello Patrick,

The end of summer is drawing near, and with Labor Day just around the corner, our attention has turned to autumn. The nights are turning cooler, the days are getting shorter and the first tinges of color are appearing on the mountain top. And while we love the warm summer days, the change signals the nearing of the winter season - to which we happen to be a little partial. We will be seeing you soon...

- Beth
