Around September and April, the Vaux Swifts stop here for a brief stay along their migration route and one of the locations they sleep is the old chimney at this elementary school. In September, there is typically (not current due to pandemic) an event held where the community gathers to watch the birds prepare to settle in for the night to sleep. They engage in a stunning visual display where they encircle the chimney and drop in at sunset. You may see groups of them flying around in the early evening during these times of year.

City/town information
Bavarian themed city about an hour East of Index (over Steven's Pass). Lots of cute shopping, yummy food, art, and wineries. Good place for slowly tubing the river as it is hot and dry in the Summer and warms up more quickly than Index in the Spring.

Train tracks run diagonal through the town. Trains come through town at all hours of the day/night and can be heard at least a couple times over night/in the early morning and at various times throughout the day. If you listen closely, you can hear the difference between the commuter train that passes through once in the morning and evening and the freight trains.

Index gets winter weather
In the winter season, Index is likely to get some snowy weather. At the Rosehill Manor, we do our best to snow blow our driveway and keep walks clear, however access to our driveway begins at the end of 5th St at the bottom of the hill. 5th St management is the responsibility of the town of Index. Index is a small town with 1 maintenance person and it can take some time for them to arrive to take care of 5th St. Parking in town tends to be limited during these events as well.
