The ash tree on the farm has turned gold. It is officially fall here at the Rankin in Ashton, Idaho. Evenings are cool and we gather around the fire pit as the sun sets. Guests seek out the warmth of the fire and we visit into the evening.
It is always interesting to observe the trees turn and shed their leaves. Weeping birch, ash, cottonwood and the sugar maple take the stage at different times to show off their gold.
Ash trees at the front of the property are just starting to turn.
I’ve replaced the front cabin petunias with fall mums. We’ve had the heat on in the cabins and rooms to keep them cozy for you!
Fall is the perfect time to plan a trip to the Yellowstone country. The summer crowds are gone. The fall colors are gorgeous against the blue sky. There has been so much smoke and harvest haze the last several months that it’s good to see the Tetons again. Temperatures are dropping at night. Little nips of frost glisten in the morning sun. It’s also time to plant a few tulip and daffodil bulbs, mend linens and hang heavier curtains.
So pack your warm gear and head to autumn in the Ashton and Yellowstone areas! We’ll have a room ready for you!
