Sample Colorado Autumn
Information From
"A
Guide to Colorado's Best Photography Locations"
Many towns and communities throughout
Colorado claim to have scenic roads to drive for viewing autumn
foliage.
Are some better than others? You bet they are! This guide will describe
the most spectacular autumn drives and locations in all of Colorado.
Actually,
they're the best in all of the Rockies.
Autumn Foliage: The peak of
Colorado's autumn foliage display varies with elevation and location.
Higher elevations normally turn before lower elevations and different
locations may peak at varying times. For most of Colorado, peak season
usually occurs during the last two weeks of September or the first week
of October. Usually the central mountain region of the state changes
one week to ten days earlier than the southern mountains, including the
San Juans.
Aspen leaves change to yellow, gold or sometimes fiery orange and provide the majority of color during autumn. When scrub oaks are present, they account for the remainder of color, adding various hues of orange and red to the landscape. Many mountain towns claim to have wonderful scenic drives to view fall colors, however, the locations described on the following pages are some of the premier hot spots for exceptional autumn shooting. Aspen forests are quite fickle, yielding peak colors for only a short duration and not necessarily at the same time as surrounding forests. If you do not find adequate color at one place, travel a few miles and you may discover a forest displaying peak color. If you are planning a driving trip over several days, it may be convenient to visit the locations as they're sequenced in this book.
