Fall Colors in the Mountains

That fall chill is in the air...

As any leaf peeper knows, witnessing Colorado’s aspen leaves change is one of the best ways to spend the day.  Plan your trip to see the beautiful colors that speckle our mountainsides, the peak time to see this amazing color change is coming soon!  We just had our first frosty mornings, triggering the trees to prepare for winter.  However, the days are still pleasantly sunny, the best time of year in the mountains.  While you’re driving along the Peak to Peak, be sure to stop in and take a magical ride on our one-of-a-kind carousel.  

For a great self-guided tour, check out Treasure Box Tours, a unique experience to share with friends and family (includes snacks and souvenirs).  Discover the beauty of the phenomenon with this special Treasure Box along the Peak to Peak Highway, Colorado’s oldest designated scenic byway.  Autumn Treasures Box
