There’s no time like September and October to experience a drive through Colorado’s golden aspens. As the quaking aspen glitter in the distance, take a drive, ride a train, hike or bike a trail or just make an overview stop to admire the gold and peach leaves and experience the clear blue skies of our mountain scenery. Even the lower altitudes of the plains, country and city paths offer beautiful fall colors. You’ll want to bring your digital camera or phone to capture the best views and tag us on FB @innsofcolorado so we can share your experiences!
Here are a few of our favorite drives:
Red Mountain Pass– Durango & Ouray
Highway 24 West from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek– Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs & Woodland Park
