Why the Changing Seasons are Best Seen in Colorado Springs

Summer tends to be a peak time to take a vacation, but next time you’re planning a getaway, consider the growing reasons to come during a shoulder season. For starters, who doesn’t love the sweater weather, pumpkin spice latte feelings of fall? With the perfect balance between crisp mornings and cool, sunny days, Colorado Springs is the quintessential place to pull on your booties and a hat, layer up, and savor the pumpkin, ginger, and apple-spiced flavors of the season. Once you’re fueled up and ready to go, head to the trails for an interactive experience with the golden-hued fall foliage. Spend a day exploring the 55 miles of Mueller State Park, enjoy a riverside stroll along Rainbow Gulch, or take a hike through the area’s colorful rocks at Victor Gold Mines. No matter where you go keep an eye out for wildlife. With fewer crowds and the oncoming winter, autumn is often the best time of year to catch a glimpse!
