What are the best places for fall foliage in Colorado?

 

Colorado is a beautiful state in the fall when mountain views are enhanced by the changing leaves. Here are some of the best places for fall foliage in Colorado:

  • Queen Silver Gondola, Aspen, CO: A gondola ride high above Aspen Mountain is an incredible way to enjoy the fall colors. At 12,000 feet long, this gondola ride is one of the longest gondolas in North America. This gives you plenty of time to catch your breath after witnessing the beauty below you.
  • Maroon Bells, Aspen, CO: Another wonderful spot in Aspen is Maroon Bells. When the top of the mountain is bathed in golden light and reflected back in the water far below, it is simply stunning. Add to that the golden glow of aspen trees and you have one magical picture.
  • City Park, Denver, CO: If you don't have time to go on a long road trip to see fall colors in Colorado, simply head to City Park in Denver. Ferris Lake is beautifully lined with colorful trees and makes the perfect spot for a picnic or a walk around the lake.
  • Pagosa Springs, CO: In the foothills of the San Juan Mountains, you'll find an idyllic town that comes alive in the fall. What better way to enjoy the fall colors than by relaxing in the hot springs while the crisp fall air cools your skin?
