Take This Gorgeous Fall Foliage Road Trip To See Colorado Like Never Before

September and October are some of the most stunning times of the year to be in Colorado. We think one of the best ways to experience the cozy weather and change of leaves is by taking a fall road trip in Colorado  If you agree, grab a pumpkin spice latte, a comfy sweater, and your favorite scarf. Then, hit the road for this gorgeous fall foliage road trip that'll take you to six stunning stops in the Centennial State.

As you can see, this fall road trip in Colorado is epic. Therefore, feel free to opt to do as much or as little as you'd like. We also suggest you take a look at Booking.com if you'd like to take a few days to see the fall foliage in Colorado at every stop along this scenic route.

1. City Park in Denver

Quite possibly one of the most beautiful spots to see fall colors in Colorado is City Park, which boasts several stunning trees in bright red, yellow, and orange. This spot is also the place to go for exciting (and free) festivals and events throughout the year.

2. Flatirons in Boulder

One of Boulder's most iconic sites is that of the Flatirons; a series of five large rock formations that sit atop beautiful Green Mountain. Our advice? Aside from visiting Colorado in the fall, make an effort to visit this scenic location every season. It's truly worth it.

3. McClure Pass in Glenwood Springs

No need to adjust your screen; the fall colors along McClure Pass truly are this radiant when you visit Colorado in the fall.

4. Dallas Divide in Ridgway

No fall road trip in Colorado would ever be complete without a quick drive along the Dallas Divide (which runs between the San Juan Mountains and the Uncompahgre Plateau)...

5. Last Dollar Road in Telluride

...or its most popular residence: the Last Dollar Road (a hidden and bumpy dirt road that takes travelers through some of the most beautiful fall colors in Colorado).

6. Cottonwood Lake in Buena Vista

A perfectly picturesque lake with a serene background of richly colored trees and mountainside? It can only be the lovely Cottonwood Lake in Buena Vista! Hence, the perfect stop on this road trip to experience fall foliage in Colorado. Here's a photo of the drive leading up to the lake that I thought you'd enjoy too.
