FEATURED HIKES:
THE GOLD ASPENS ARE HERE!

The last two weeks of September are my favorite time of the year for hiking. This year it looks like the fall colors are arriving a bit early in the high country and it should be a wonderful year for hiking through golden aspen forests. Here are just a few suggestions for hikes that bring the fall colors and hopefully not the crowds. Check out the Hikes with Fall Colors page for more suggestions. Enjoy!
