It’s fall, y’all! (Yes, I know it isn’t officially fall until September 22nd and that we don’t say “y’all” in Colorado, but PLEASE DON’T RUIN THIS FOR ME!) In addition to pumpkin spice everything, this is a special time of the year because of all of the vibrant colors and changing trees. If you are ready to go out and experience this glory for yourself, grab your favorite pumpkin spice beverage and take this dreamy road trip through some of Denver’s best fall foliage (link to the original interactive map can be found here ):
1.) Georgetown Loop Railroad (Georgetown)
There is no better way to begin our journey than by taking a ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad; an1884 three-foot narrow gauge railroad line that offers both unforgettable year-round rides and a special Fall Colors trip that you and your senses will never forget.
2.) Flatirons (Boulder)
One of Boulder's most iconic attractions is that of the Flatirons, which are a series of five large rock formations sitting atop beautiful Green Mountain that truly come to life during the fall.
3.) City Park (Denver)
After driving to Georgetown and then hiking around the Flatirons, you deserve a break! Ladies and gentlemen: I give you Denver's City Park in all of its vibrant and peaceful glory.
4.) Washington Park (Denver)
...because no matter the time of year, a trip through Denver is not complete without stopping by picture-perfect Wash Park.
5.) Pikes Peak Cog Railway (Manitou Springs)
Do you have a feeling you aren't in Denver anymore? That's because we have traveled an hour south to Manitou Springs and its famed Pikes Peak Cog Railway, which features up close views of all the changing aspens, spruce and pines.
6.) Evergreen
Don't let the name fool you; this Denver suburb is surrounded by countless trees and shurbs that -- despite the town's name -- do indeed transform come fall.
