- Rocky Mountain National Park. Tall aspen trees cover the land and provide a truly awesome bouquet of fall colors to enjoy, making this an annual favorite for fall color drives in Colorado. This drive is best taken from mid-September until early in October.
- Guanella Pass. Climb higher into the mountains to an elevation of 11,670 feet and take the road between Georgetown and Grant to see the signature colors of call sweep down the adjacent mountains and across the pass before the end of September.
- Lake Dillion. Until mid-October, load up your bikes and experience two types of fall drives in Colorado by heading up to 8,000 feet and exploring the 18-mile pathway that tours through the trees and provides majestic views of the lake and mountainous backdrop.
- Golden Gate Canyon State Park. If you want to experience the best Denver drives in fall, a 45-minute drive from the city will take you to Golden Gate Canyon State Park where you can witness changing colors and panoramic mountain views throughout most of October.
