Annual Fall Activities in Colorado

1. Leaf Peeping in the Rockies

The changing colors of Colorado’s aspens are a must see every fall. Whether you take a scenic drive up to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, just outside the Denver Metro, or head up to Fraser for mountain views framed by brilliant gold leaves, leaf peeping is a favorite tradition.

Fall wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a pumpkin patch. Metro Denver has several iconic spots, like Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield Farms in Littleton, where you can pick the perfect pumpkin, explore a corn maze, or enjoy hayrides.

For a more adventurous outing, head over to Maize in the City in Thornton (near Commerce City), where you can navigate a massive corn maze and join in family friendly activities like corn shooting and mini-train rides.

3. Hiking and Biking
