Pss.. did you know today we are less than 100 days until the 2024-2025 winter season?! It’s almost Labor Day weekend and that marks the unofficial start of fall here in Rangeley. Temps are dropping and the leaves are already starting to change on the Saddleback Mountain Road.
Leaf Peepin’ & The 4th Annual Oktoberfest
Thank you to everyone who came to visit The Nest for Sunday brunch! That’s a wrap on brunch for the summer, but stay tuned, you never know when Bigfoot might make an appearance at 3,620′.
We’re already seeing patches of orange and red. Fall foliage is just around the corner. In celebration of peak peepin’ season, we’ve added scenic chairlift dates to the calendar. Join us on Sunday, September 28 and Saturday, October 5 (Oktoberfest!) for fall views like no other on the Rangeley Quad. While you’re thinking about fall, mark your calendar for the 4th Annual Oktoberfest at Saddleback Mountain. We’ll start the morning with the Oktoberfest 5k for all you ambitious folks, followed by a Munich-Meets-Maine family-friendly festival. Enjoy live music, fun events like the keg toss, stein hoisting, plus great food and drinks. More info on Oktoberfest here.
We can feel the change of seasons coming, but for now, enjoy all the mountain has to offer in late summer! This is your resident mountain bike shop dog Pheobe signing off for now.
