Senior travel: ski resorts offer fall frolics
Unlikely as it sounds, for seniors who want to view fall foliage in comfortable surroundings - and maybe get in a round of golf in the process - the best resort may be a ski resort.

Every year, before the snows come, the Killington Resort in Vermont's Green Mountains opens its K-1 Gondola to leaf-peepers of all ages, but seniors get special discounts. Ski resorts in general are generous to seniors.

Killington, which has been offering fall foliage packages for almost half a century, provides gondola rides to Killington Peak on weekends throughout this month, and daily starting Sept. 29 through Columbus Day weekend, ending Oct. 8, which is the peak foliage season, according to the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. From the Killington Peak summit on a clear day viewers can see five states.
