Q:
Hi, I want to take some cool (non commercial of course, it's just me and my little guy and an iphone haha) pics in the fall with my little guy. I just think it would be really nice to get some photos of us under the trees when they're full of color. Is there a day that's a little less crowded that you could recommend? And a good time for the fall colors? We've never been and I keep checking the site for "fall colors" but I see nothing about the crowds, except Wednesdays are the busiest. Raina

We were there over summer. The only place that was crowded was the cafe for lunch. The place is very large. If you are wanting to do the tram get your tickets online in advance or right away. But doing the trails is the best way to escape the school groups and will not be crowded. During the summer our tram driver said fall colors is Mid. Sept through Mid Oct. Check their events schedule as it sounds like they do some amazing special events in the fall and a lighted trail for Nov-Dec.
