How to Get the Most Out of the Fall Colors 

Colorful Durango, Colorado. Fall in Colorado is the best season to show off the beauty our state has to offer. Wherever you turn, panoramic views of beauty and bright fall colors will surround you. The snow-capped peaks and the changing aspen leaves in the fall are the reason it’s everyone’s favorite season. So take a hike or a drive and see why. 

Strap on your boots and go on an adventure! In the fall, Molas or Coal Bank Pass is the local’s favorite spot where there are trails for people of all ages and levels to admire the fall colors. So pack your backpacks with seasonal Honeycrisp apples and hit the trails. 

The Million Dollar Highway is just a short drive north of Durango, where you’ll find the neighboring town of Silverton. Locals flock to if they want to take in the beauty of autumn and some eye-catching fall colors. To get the most out of the views on your way to Silverton, take a train ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad! The railroad weaves through the canyons and valleys that can only be accessed by the train. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip! 

Stay in a luxurious vacation rental in the heart of the aspen trees changing colors. The hues of soft honey tones will put you in the mood to cozy up with a hot chocolate in front of a serene fireplace.
