The Colors of Colorado
Sunshine ripples across the state of Colorado in the fall, when the world turns gold and you breathe in the freshest air amongst the stately dance of the aspens.
The Colors of Colorado
One of the most famous features of fall in Colorado is the vibrant display of changing foliage. As temperatures cool, the aspen trees that blanket the mountainsides transition from lush green to hues of gold, orange, and red, creating a breathtaking landscape. Iconic mountains are transformed by the coat of gold that lines their sides.
Fall is an ideal time for scenic drives in Colorado, as the changing leaves add a stunning backdrop to the winding mountain roads. Popular routes for leaf-peeping include the Million Dollar Highway, the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway, and the San Juan Skyway
As fall progresses, anticipation builds for the upcoming ski season. Many ski resorts begin making snow in preparation for opening day, and outdoor enthusiasts eagerly await the first powder days of winter. Every year for those that have lucky timing a clash of seasons is seen when the gold of fall persists against the first of the snowfalls creating drama that is unparalleled in beauty and exquisiteness.
