Red, yellow, green … and white??
Despite being a little chilly, October is the third busiest month of the year (after July and August) for Segway tours in Gettysburg. That’s because the tree colors are at their most spectacular at this time of year.
But this year we were treated with a color we don’t often see on the trees in October — white! Like many others in the Northeast, we were hit last weekend with a freak snowstorm. The ice and snow even caused some trees and electrical lines to fall, resulting in many road closures in the Park.
That's the 63rd Pennsylvania monument at the corner of Emmitsburg Road and Millerstown/Wheatfield Road.
It was the first time in anyone’s memory that we got snow in October and it made for some beautiful scenery but it didn’t last long. In fact, the snow is already gone and all Park roads are open again.
We regret that most of the tours were cancelled over the weekend but there are several weeks of the the tour season left so make your reservation now! Just come prepared for some brisk weather. If you don’t have some gloves, we even have some that you can borrow.
