Colorado mountain town dubbed a top US spot for ‘fall foliage’ — and colors are peaking now
Fall colors are a-plenty in Colorado right now, starting to hit peak vibrancy in many mountain towns around the state.
Those familiar with the local leaf peeping culture will find it no surprise that TripsToDiscover.com has dubbed one Centennial State mountain town as a top spot for fall foliage nationwide.
The sole Colorado spot on the publication’s list of 20 was Aspen, named for the abundance of its namesake tree in the surrounding area, which are known for turning bright yellow and flickering in the breeze during months of September and October.
Those looking to catch a glimpse of these trees in full shine should plan a trip to Aspen as soon as possible, as fall colors are starting to peak in this part of the state into next weekend, according to fall foliage mapping from SmokyMountains.com.
