Fall Colors and Events

Aspen, Colorado Fall Vacation: Aspen Colorado is a place to experience and enjoy in any season of the year. John Denver once said, “It’s as close to heaven as one can get and still be in Colorado.” Other seasons notwithstanding, Aspen’s peak season is winter thanks to the world-class resorts that offer fabulous skiing. Fall, however, brings the astute vacationer a bevy of advantages. The ski and festival crowds are absent; prices are significantly lower and the widest-possible range of accommodations are available. Perhaps most important, the golden blaze of Aspen foliage mixed with the reds and yellows of other flora is absolutely spectacular.

There’s a lot more to do in this off season too. Hiking trails are plentiful and if you’re so inclined, horseback riding is as well. Fishing is excellent especially for angler purists seeking the native trout that are plentiful before the winter freeze. If photography is your thing, the scenic vistas provided in this Roaring Fork Valley are unending and colorful opportunities to capture vacation memories for posterity.

Closer to town, you can experience the Annual Oktoberfest celebration in both Aspen and Snowmass. This an event for the entire family with plenty of food, drink and German folk dancers in their colorful costumes whirling to lively music. On any day.

So will your friendly hosts, the locals and shopkeepers thanks to their friendly, outgoing attitudes toward tourists.

The Aspen weather in Fall is warm during the day and cool at night. One might well imagine that it was ordered up especially for outdoor enthusiasts. It couldn’t be more comfortable.
