Fall foliage will soon attract residents and visitors to Colorado’s mountains. 

It looks like we should see our peak color on schedule this year. The best color over the northern mountains should begin next week. The central mountains will be about five days behind, with the southern mountain areas rounding out the last days of September into the first week of October.
