You can also ride a horse through a forest full of white bark and yellow leaves. Or you can see aspens from your car window.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Northern Colorado<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Drive, hike and cycle: The Cache la Poudre River Canyon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The canyon, about 20 minutes northwest of Fort Collins, is a great place to enjoy the fall colors in Colorado, whether by car or foot.<\/p>\n<p>Heading up the Poudre Canyon (pronounced pooh-der), you can take Colorado Highway 14 west from U.S. Route 287. Within the first quarter mile, you\u2019ll begin to see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivers.gov\/rivers\/cache-la-poudre.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poudre River, Colorado\u2019s only nationally designated Wild &amp; Scenic river<\/a>. The highway also is designated as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codot.gov\/travel\/scenic-byways\/north-central\/cache-la-poudre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Along with many aspens, the road is also lined with beautiful ponderosa and lodgepole pine trees, sagebrush and mountain mahogany.<\/p>\n<p>You can take the two-hour drive, climbing above 10,000 feet, to Cameron Pass and enjoy the colors along the river from your car the entire way. Take it about 40 minutes farther for even more colors and arrive in Walden, Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>Or stop at one of the many trailheads on this route to see the fall colors by foot or by bike. Along the way, you will notice the remnants of the High Park Fire, which burned more than 87,000 acres in 2012, mostly on the south side of the highway lower in the canyon. Devastation from the Cameron Peak Fire, which burned in 2020 and is the state&#8217;s largest wildfire on record, also damaged areas further up the canyon, along the river and beyond, but the drive is still worth it to see fall colors.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18399\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18399\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18399 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area.webp\" alt=\"The Cache La Poudre River with yellow fall lives on trees and some mountains in the background | Best places to see fall colors in Colorado\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area-150x113.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/09\/07122626\/Fall-colors-Poudre-Canyon-Gateway-natural-area-200x150.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">About 4 miles up the Poudre Canyon is Gateway Natural Area, owned by the City of Fort Collins. The park has picnic and play areas and is a great place to take a walk for fall colors. The wide-maintained trail leads you along the river to Seaman Reservoir, about a mile back. It&#8217;s accessible for strollers and a great walk or bike ride for kids. There is a steep, 100-yard incline up to the reservoir that may be difficult for some. There are also trails off the main trail leading to overlooks.

There is a City of Fort Collins use fee.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Day hike: Little Beaver Creek<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is an easy 5-mile hike (one way) through meadows lined with aspen.

The trail enters the Comanche Peak Wilderness about a half mile from the trailhead and there is camping along the next seven miles.
