🍂 Colorado in Autumn = Pure Magic 🍁
Thinking about a fall drive or hike? These are some of the most stunning places across our state to catch that golden glow:
Maroon Bells / Aspen — iconic aspen groves & alpine reflections
Kenosha Pass (Hwy 285) — super accessible, great for a quick fall escape
Crystal Mill — dreamy, rustic & saturated with color
Rocky Mountain National Park / Trail Ridge Road — panoramic mountain color
Crested Butte & Kebler Pass — one of the densest aspen forests in the state
Breckenridge’s Aspen Alley — a short walk, big payoff
Ouray & the San Juan Skyway — rugged beauty and fiery hues
Leadville / Twin Lakes — epic mountain + water combo
Fall is fleeting — the best colors often hit mid- to late September (sometimes earlier, depending on weather).
