If you’re someone who loves scenic drives – especially leaf-peeping focused drives in the fall season – then you’re going to love this spot! Fall foliage on Boreas Pass in Colorado is absolutely spectacular and the colors you see up there are going to blow you away. The drive is on a bumpy dirt road – although it’s improved a bit in recent years – and you’ll reach 11,493′ of elevation when you reach the top. When you get to the peak, you’ll be above the tree line, but you’ll love seeing all the colorful aspens on the way up and on the way back down. You can start in Breckenridge and end in Como – or vice versa.
Seeing the fall foliage on Boreas Pass in Colorado is exactly what you need this fall! Start out early so you can stop often and take lots of pictures. Breathe in the crisp, autumn air, and reflect on all the amazing things that you love most about Colorado. Have a great drive!
