Visitor’s Corner January 2008

• January 4th, 2008

This month’s visitor corner features a post form Brad Holt. Although he had some difficulty navigating through the Ozarks, it sounds as though he found plenty to do upon his arrival.

Brad mentions a number of attractions that many find entertaining as well as some things to be mindful of when taking a trip Branson.

The recap of Brad’s Branson trip contains a number of good ideas of fun things to do and sights to see when you visit Missouri’s vacation destination.

Branson Fall Colors

• September 23rd, 2007

Every year people get inquisitive about the Fall color change and this year is no different. Last year (2006) Branson scene posted a few times about the color progress and when the colors begin to change around Branson. Here are a couple of links to those posts:

Again, the colors in Branson normally peak around the second or third week in October, however, it varies from year to year.

Visitor Comments for March

• March 25th, 2007

Because Branson has a variety of things to do, many people find it enjoyable. This month’s featured visitor comments will hit home with many because she simply was passing through and found Table Rock Lake to be “photo worthy”. The photo in the post and the other end of the following link, was taken just North of Long Creek bridge on Hwy 86.

It Goes to Show

Mrs. Martin’s comments show that many people find the scenery in and around Branson to be one of the most noteworthy features of the Tri-Lakes area.

Autumn Colors, Right on Time

• October 27th, 2006

Just as previously announced, the Fall colors are in full focus and right on time too! I was on my way into town a couple days ago and had my camera. The colors are brilliant just as they are in this photo, everywhere you look.

The second or third week in October is usually the best time to see the most vivid colors. I noticed today, however, there is a nice breeze that seems to be lifting the color off them like a paintbrush on a palette. That probably means not much more time to see the great colors around Branson. Well, that’s all for today, see you next time.

More Color Info to Fall Into

• September 29th, 2006

Recently I wrote a post mentioning the color change schedule for the Branson area. Autumn colors are not only a site to see for visitors to Branson. The Ozarks actually extend down into Arkansas as well. There is much information available online about Fall colors. However, I thought I would supply you with a link to a website that has a current Fall Foliage Report for Arkansas. Thanks for reading, please continue to visit BransonScene.com!

By-the-way, here is a link to some interesting information about fall tourism and “leaf peepers”.

A Fall Into Autumn

• September 9th, 2006

A well-liked and deeply appreciated feature of the Branson area is its foliage in the fall. While the colors are often best seen around the second or third week in October, many of the shows transform their themes in September.

The image shown here is just a snap shot I took from an outlet center parking lot a couple of years ago. The real eye catching color bursts can be seen in the more remote areas.

Table Rock Lake is truly a great place to get some nice, colorful images if you like Autumn foliage. As far as land pictures go, Nearly any state highway in the area affords many opportunities to grab a pixel-popping image with a digital camera. In fact, I see travelers shooting the landscape all the time and I’m even guilty of it myself. So, if you appreciate the scenic images and enjoy shots of nature, you can experience the warm fall colors of Branson, MO in October. Just remember to bring a lot of film or perhaps plenty of storage for your digital camera.

Branson Balloon (Correction)

• July 9th, 2006

I wrote a post on June 12th about the reopening of the Branson Balloon. In my post I referred to the Balloon as being a “hot air balloon”, this is inaccurate. The Branson Balloon is a helium balloon not a hot air balloon. I apologize for the inaccuracy of the post.

Branson Missouri Helicopter Sightseeing Tours

• June 28th, 2006

Recently my wife and I took a vacation and we flew to our destination. It got me thinking how a lot of people enjoy the experience. (by the way, I’m not one that enjoys it)

Since so many people like flying, I decided to post about a sightseeing tour that has been in Branson for as long as I can remember. Table Rock Helicopters has been giving tours in the sky of Branson for decades. According to the website, there are six tours varying in length. Each tour covers a different area of interest and all tours include Lake Table Rock.

Touring Branson Uniquely

• June 16th, 2006

There is new way to see Branson, Missouri.

The Branson Sightseeing Tour Bus is the latest of a significant group of sightseeing tour operators providing tours of the area. These buses are interesting to say the least, simply because they are open air when the top is off.

That’s right! convertable bus! That see-through cover comes right off! I see them all the time around Branson. They have regular stops along three routes. I just wrote an article about various kinds of sightseeing operatons in which I mention these buses and include links to their routes. Read the article here.

Flying High Again: Balloon to Rise

• June 12th, 2006

Last year Branson welcomed a new sightseeing attraction to the area. The 200,000 cubic foot hot air balloon floated high above the Branson landscape throughout 2005. However, the balloon has been grounded for the last couple of months.

Inflation Celebration!
That is how the private event is being billed. To be held on Wednesday June 14, 2006, 80 guests will attend as the giant 105 foot orb that Branson residents grew used to seeing nested in the horizon reclaims its position.

The Branson Balloon is one of the latest sightseeing attractions in Branson, Missouri. You can learn more about the hot air balloon here.
