What Makes October Special Around Colorado Springs:
• Fall Colors: Mid-September through early October is prime for seeing aspens and cottonwoods change! Golds, oranges, reds. This marks a GREAT time for Colorado hikes, scenic drives, or even a picnic surrounded by color.
• Crisp Colorado weather & layering: Mornings and evenings are chilly; afternoons can still feel warm if the sun’s out. Bring layers, hats, gloves just in case, and break out the fun fall fashion.

✅ Quick Tips for Planning
• Check event schedules ahead of time. Some events are only on weekends. Some ticketed. Weather-dependent.
• Layer up. Even a sunny afternoon can turn cold fast once the sun dips behind a mountain.
• Go early or mid-week when possible to avoid crowds, especially at pumpkin patches.
• Have backup indoor options in case of rain or early snow (museums, indoor farms, etc.).
