Does anyone else feel like we just rang in the new year last week? Alas, this is not the case and fall/cooler temperatures/pumpkin everything is upon us, meaning it is time to partake in everything this colorful season has to offer! Not sure where to begin? Begin by taking one of these 5 hayrides around Denver that will make your autumn awesome:
What better place to begin our tour of Denver-area hayrides than at the iconic Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms; a 700-acre native plant refuge and working farm that offers hay rides Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 15th through October 29th.

Unlike Chatfield, the small and family-owned Cottonwood Farms is only open seasonally, slated to open this year (2017) on September 23rd! Also not like Chatfield? Admission to Cottonwood Farms and all of its offerings (minus the hay ride, which runs Saturdays and Sundays and costs a mere $3 per person) is free.
