Photography Tours & Sightseeing Tours
Colorado’s San Juan and Rocky Mountains offer a stunning backdrop for nature lovers and photographers. The region boasts millions of acres of Aspen trees that turn into an explosion of colors in fall. With their pole straight white bark contrasting against the colored leaves, the Aspen trees of Colorado are considered one of the most beautiful fall photographic and sightseeing destinations.
In addition to the vibrant Aspen trees, the newly snow-capped mountain peaks provide an excellent background for photographs. The fall season is characterized by clear skies that dominate the season and make the leaves appear almost iridescent.
When to Visit
The varying altitude of the San Juan and Rocky Mountains provides opportunities to follow the colors as they move down the mountains with the onset of winter. The leaves in the high country transform as early as mid-September, while those in the lower elevations can hold out until mid-October. However, the window of opportunity for prime photography is relatively short, lasting only two to three weeks, depending on the destination. Use this “Fall Foliage Map” resource to get a feel when colors tend to change throughout the state.
