Throughout the Rocky Mountain Region and Snowmass Village, hints of things to come can be found in the high country. The careful viewer can spot signs of the impending color change. With favorable weather conditions, the color should begin to intensify during the week or so. With luck from the weather, there could be good color into the second week of October, or past, in some areas.

There is no better place to experience the fall colors than hiking on Snowmass Mountain. Try a short hike on the Ditch Trail for an amazing view of changing leaf colors in the Snowmass Creek Valley or explore the KAR Trail from top of the to Sam's Knob Lift down to Burlingame Lift. The new Bear Claw Trail connects West Government and the Ditch Trail.
