Book Your Stay
Fall is the time to take advantage of all the warm-weather activities before the winter months arrive. There are plenty of summer activities still available throughout the fall such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, and golfing to name a few. Photographers from all over the world travel to the Rocky Mountains in autumn to capture the colorful foliage of the aspen trees set against the majestic backdrop of the towering peaks. We typically start to see leaves changing (and quickly peaking!) around Mid-September. The colors stick around through at least the first week of October, weather permitting. The short-lived nature of this season makes fall a truly a magical time of the year in Breckenridge.
