Wealthy Travelers

With September upon us, we find the hot days turning into warm, and nights changing from pleasantly cool to down right chilly.  And with the cooler weather we begin to see the changing of foliage to hints of red, orange, gold, and yellow; a time when fall vacations in Colorado are at their best.

Plan a weekend road trip through some of the most beautiful fall foliage anywhere in the west.  To highlight a few areas, begin in the southwest part of the state traveling over Lizard Head Pass and Dallas Divide, traveling through Ridgeway, Montrose and Telluride.  Head down Highway 160 which takes across Wolf Creek Pass to see some large fields of golden aspen, and then continue down the highway west into Cortez and the four corners. 

For a unique trip to see Colorado fall colors, take a trip on the Pike’s Peak Cog Railway slowly winding your way to the peak at 14,000 feet through some splendid colors of gold, orange and yellow.  Or travel on the narrow gauge railroad through Georgetown over the Devil’s Gate bridge and wind through a scenic Rocky Mountain pathway with golden fall colors everywhere.  Just about anywhere you decide as a destination in Colorado, you will see spectacular fall colors.
