Colorado Autumn Leaves
Leaf-Lookers Guide

Fall colors come early to Colorado, typically starting to lose its summer green shortly after Labor Day. By October, most of the Colorado deciduous trees are brown contrasted with the green of the predominant conifers. Expect to see a lot of yellows because of the predominance of aspens and cottonwoods. 

Some favorite destinations for viewing the autumn leaves are:

• Boulder Loop
• Estes Park Loop
• Golden Gate Canyon State Park
• Rocky Mountain National Park Loop

Most accommodations are 'booked up' during the leaf season. If you haven't made your hotel/motel reservations yet we have included access to an on-line reservation system for your convenience.

Hotel reservations are available in the following communities: Boulder Denver Estes Park Golden Grand Lake Idaho Spgs Lakewood Winter Park
