Fall in Grand County

Fall in Grand County is a season painted in gold. Hillsides and valleys glow with aspen trees, which Colorado is known for, creating some of the most breathtaking fall colors in the Rockies. Scenic routes like Trail Ridge Road, the Colorado River Headwaters Scenic Byway, Cottonwood Pass, and Highway 40 offer some of the best fall drives, where golden leaves contrast against snow-dusted peaks. Wildlife takes center stage as elk bugling echoes across meadows — a signature sound of fall in Colorado.
