Aspen in its golden era. 🍂
It already feels like fall in the valley. Cooler mornings are here, the first pockets of gold are starting to appear, and this year, the color may be arriving a little earlier than usual.
Typically, the last week of September into the first week of October is our best window for peak foliage, but every year is different. After more than 20 years in the Roaring Fork Valley, this is still one of my favorite seasons. From Castle Creek Road and Ashcroft to the trails around Aspen and Snowmass, there are countless ways to experience it.
I put together my 2026 Fall Guide with more on this year's timing, some of my favorite places to see the colors, fall hikes and drives, and what this season looks like across the Aspen and Snowmass real estate market.
