Fall is the perfect season for road-tripping around Colorado. Temperatures are a bit cooler but major snow generally hasn’t hit yet, and there’s plenty of changing colors to spot in local foliage.

If you’re looking for something to do over the next few weeks, here are a few great mountain town stops to add to your road trip list.

1. Crested Butte

This charming mountain is a wonderful place to begin your fall road trip, as it is home to plenty of classic Colorado scenery. If you’re coming from the Front Range, you can take Cottonwood Pass for a scenic fall drive. Once there, Kebler Pass is a great place to see some fall foliage.

2. Take Independence Pass to Aspen and check out the Maroon Bells

Aspen, and particularly the Maroon Bells, is beautiful year round, but fall is certainly a special time to enjoy the mountain town’s natural beauty as the leaves change color.

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, Independence Pass typically closes around early November, so plan accordingly.

3. Twin Lakes

Make another scenic stop at Colorado’s stunning Twin Lakes. Enjoy the views of both fall colors and alpine lakes.

4. Grand Lake to Estes Park on Trail Ridge Road

Driving Trail Ridge Road is a great way to experience Rocky Mountain National Park’s (RMNP) fall colors. The road covers the 48 miles between Grand Lake on RMNP’s west side and Estes Park on the East Side.

5. Golden Gate Canyon State Park

With forests of aspen and cottonwood trees, this state park puts on a stunning display of fall colors. The 12,119 acre park has 35 miles of trails so it’s also a great place to stretch your legs after taking a long drive. There are also 156 campsites and 125 picnic sites.

6. Peak to Peak Scenic and Historic Byway

This 55-mile byway passes through the Front Range’s ridges and valleys, running from Estes Park to Black Hawk. There are plenty of scenic vistas that offer great views of the Continental Divide.

7. Cripple Creek

Cripple Creek’s aspen trees turn a vibrant color of gold in the fall, making it a great stop. The town also hosts a fall festival in early October to celebrate the season. Highway 67 from Divide to Cripple Creek is a scenic route with pull-off spots to admire the colors and take pictures.
