🍂 Colorado’s best season is almost here.
Fall in the Rockies moves fast. Golden aspens, cool mornings, snow-dusted peaks and some of the best scenic driving of the year can all show up within a matter of weeks — sometimes within the same day.
We put together a quick Colorado Fall Adventure Guide with a few of our favorite drives for photographers, what to expect from fall color, and a few things to keep in mind before heading into the high country.
One tip from people who spend a lot of time on Colorado backroads: don’t get too attached to a “peak color” date. Elevation, weather and location can make conditions completely different just a few miles apart. Go explore, take the camera, and see what you find.
And remember — fall in the mountains can turn into winter surprisingly quickly. Check current road, fire and weather conditions before heading out.
