Along with the glory of fall foliage, there is the glory of suspending your tasks.

There's also a lovely natural history museum, a Great Room to view the birds from, and interesting displays. Periodic classes are held there that can be a fun thing to do together, from nature walks to craft projects.
The Natural Stone Bridge & Caves complex also has gorgeous hiking trails, giving glorious views of the caves and the nearby cliffs and forest.
