Doug_Baliko Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 For those of you from the Colorado mountain areas, when is it usually the best time to catch the Aspens in all their fall splendor? I have been up there a few times in early September, but it's usually a bit too early. I'm thinking the 3rd or 4th week in September will probably be about right. Let me know what you think. I'm trying to plan a Colorado ride next month. Thanks. Doug Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 If you spend a couple of weeks, and include the Wasatch and Uinta ranges, more of us can check out your wrap job first hand! Link to comment

LOL... I'm wait listed for a room or cabin at Torrey. Supposedly I'm first on the wait list. If I get a room I'm going to incorporate Torrey into my trip. Hopefully it will work out.

waynerd Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 End of Sept-beginning of Oct is a good ballpark to shoot for, but please note that peak colors are highly dependent on a few factors that are highly variable, especially at elevation (temps, precip, sun). Keep in mind that there is a pretty good timeline spread on peak color times as you go from the north end of the state to the south (usually about a 4 week window), so if you are somewhat flexible on where in the state you go, you can catch magnificent color without having to time it perfectly. Safe travels. Link to comment

JR356 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 https://www.tripsavvy.com/colorado-fall-foliage-1061791 Some useful info here with clickable links to current information. Another option,but further away,is the California eastern sierras fall colors,plus you can ride some spectacular sierra passes. JR356 Link to comment
