Finding time to escape the daily grind and make the most of a fall getaway is always an exciting moment. When your travel sights are set on Snowmass, Colorado, even better! The following are just a few of our many favorite fall activities in Snowmass the next time you’re fortunate to head this way in the name of fun!

Get Out on the Golf Course

Far from the hot summer sun that can scorch the greens mid-summer, fall in Snowmass is the ideal time for those who can’t wait to drive their way to success on the fairways to make the most of Snowmass’s many nearby golf courses. This time of year, there’s just the right amount of chill in the air, and the surroundings promise to be scenic too. The combination is a captivating pairing for those who are looking forward to time spent perfecting their short and long game in Snowmass. Teeing up when fall colors are in full swing promises to be a highlight of your stay. Across the Roaring Fork Valley, golfers will find world-class courses waiting to be enjoyed. Whether you select the Snowmass Club Golf Course, the Aspen Golf Club, or the Roaring Fork Club, you’re in for a treat. This time of year tends to see bookings fill up so choose a mid-week tee time if you’re looking to make the most of tranquil surroundings.

Hike Your Way to Fun

Across Snowmass and the surrounding communities in the fall, those with a passion for lacing up their hiking boots and enjoying outdoor adventure will find that more than 100 miles of trails are waiting to be discovered. These trails can easily be customized according to hiking preference and skill, providing outdoor enthusiasts with the choices they need and the views they crave at every turn. Fall hikes in Snowmass are worth dressing in layers for, but also promises to come with visual surprises no matter what trail you take to. Those who are experienced hikers may want to start with Buckskin Pass while novice hikers will find a more leisurely, yet no less scenic route waiting for them along the Roaring Fork. As long as you’re trekking these routes before November, you should be immersed in colorful surroundings that are traditionally snow-free.

Leaf Peeping Opportunities

There’s nothing more inspiring than heading to Snowmass in the fall to make the most of leaf-peeping opportunities and there’s no place better to take in the fall foliage sights than the Maroon Lake and Maroon Bells Region. Year-round, this scenic area of land is already known and loved as one of the most captivating and photographed. Fall only enhances the color factor making the experience that much more impactful. Maroon Lake is flanked on either side by summits known as the Maroon Bells that reach an impressive height of 14,000 feet each. While the terrain is perfectly designed by nature to inspire, the fact that fall allows the surrounding aspens to turn a tantalizing shade of yellow and gold makes it that much better. A trip this way in the autumn is one you’ll want to be sure to have your camera for.

Outdoor Adventure

If you happen to be in Snowmass this fall with the entire family and you’re the type of traveling crew that can’t wait to enjoy adrenaline-pumping fun, heading over to Lost Forest is a must! Situated within Elk Camp on Snowmass, Lost Forest is an oasis of outdoor fun and adventure that should be enjoyed by all. They’re open through the beginning of October, so there’s plenty of time in the fall to head over and enjoy their collection of biking trails, climbing walls, rope challenges, and even the alpine coaster! Lost Forest is open from 10:30 am until 4:00 pm and is a place that many visitors find themselves wanting to return to time and again.

Find Time for Fly Fishing

When it comes to destinations that are ideal for fly fishing enthusiasts to enjoy, Snowmass has long topped the list of must-experience places on the map. The Roaring Fork River and surrounding lakes and ponds make up a collection of waterways that are known as Gold Medal Waters. The lush terrain lends itself to waters that are packed with trout. Whether you’re on the hunt for brown trout, brookies, or rainbow trout, fall is a fantastic time of year to cast your line and see what bites. While many anglers come to Snowmass in the fall for independent fly fishing adventures, there are several local companies more than willing to provide guided services if you’re new to the sport or could use a refresher. Sometimes, taking time to organize with a local guide just gives you a head start on finding those areas of the river that see the most success this time of year. This is definitely one of the best activities in Snowmass!
