 SCENIC AND SPOOKY FALL FUN AT BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT

 

PALMERTON, Penn. – Blue Mountain Resort, located along the Kittatinny Ridge in the foothills of the scenic Pocono Mountains region and sitting just north of Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Trail, is a superb destination for autumn adventures and activities. From the resort’s world-class downhill mountain Bike Park and Summit Adventure Park to incredible leaf peeping from a scenic lift ride and camping or glamping in prairie field – Blue Mountain Resort is an outdoor oasis. Add a spooky Murder Mystery Date Night, Oktoberfest festivities, Fright Time Zip & Climb, and a Monster Ball to round out the fun.

 

A ride on Blue Mountain’s Comet Quad Chairlift, great for the whole family, is the perfect way to soak in the Pocono autumn colors.

Advanced ticket purchasing is recommended, especially during Oktoberfest.  $10 ticket is valid for one lift ride up and down the mountain.
