Crested Butte - Colorado USA

Fall Foliage Festival

24/09/2020 - 27/09/2020 75 °F

overview / intro

When it's the start of autumn, then it's time to vacation a bit to see the fall foliage. The northeast New England area may have claim to a lot of pretty colors, but Colorado is pretty picturesque too, if you know where to go. So we took a weekend to rent a condo and check out the changing colors of the leaves.

Crested Butte has one of the largest aspen grove regions in the world. They all go from lime green to greenish-yellow to bright yellow within a few weeks. There are usually some birch trees that include some red and orange colors as well. Then they are all back dropped by the dark green of all the evergreen trees and the gray of the Rocky Mountains.

The trees and mountains from a distance:

Driving on the side roads provide pretty good views.

And getting into the hiking trails if a must do. By the way, you are going to see a lot of yellow.

overview / intro

It was photogenic !
Yeah, I have about 1000 pictures of the lake and Teton mountains. Pretty much every stop or corner you take, it's a cool photo.

One day we spent on the water, doing both on a paddle board and a kayak.
Another day we spent chasing wildlife and doing a tour of photography spots.
And yet another day we spent hiking into a canyon between mountains within the range.

All of those were unique experiences and I highly recommend checking out the Tetons national park.
