Snowmass, Colorado is a truly gorgeous cold-weather retreat to enjoy among those who can’t get enough of their time spent on the slopes. Between the downhill thrills, beautiful views, and top-notch après-ski scene here, it’s not difficult to see why so many adventurers make plans to head this way in the heart of the winter season! However, if you’re hoping to make the most of that crisp mountain air on your next trip, without having to contend with the wintertime crowds, planning a September getaway to Snowmass is a great way to make it happen. This time of year, there’s just as much to enjoy in the way of spectacular scenery and tranquility, but you’ll enjoy the added benefit of having even more of this mesmerizing destination to yourself.
Count on Incredible Weather Just Waiting to Be Enjoyed
When you plan your September getaway to Snowmass and successfully skip the tourist crowds along the way, you’ll inevitably find yourself here during that sweet time of year before snowfall totals rise, but summer crowds have long left Snowmass behind. For many visitors, September’s weather is a big draw to plan a trip this way before ski season is in full swing. Daytime highs average anywhere from the upper 60s to the lower 70s in the fall, opening up options for outdoor adventures of all types to be enjoyed comfortably. Those mild temperatures are also the indicator that Snowmass is about to take a turn for the colorful.
A highlight activity to add to your September getaway to Snowmass is always time set aside for admiring the fall foliage! As the mountains come to life in impressive hues of gold and red, you can lace up your hiking boots and enjoy the fact that cooler temperatures lend themselves well to staying on the trails and admiring your surroundings for even longer each day. Some of the top-rated trails to be sure to check out with camera and binoculars in hand this September include the Rim Trail for a moderately difficult trek, to the Tom Blake Trail if you’re up for great views and a challenge too.
Make the Most of Mountain Biking Thrills
If you’re hoping to pick up the pace of your adventures and you want to make sure you spend as much time outdoors as possible this time of year, September is ideal for mountain biking experiences in Snowmass. We highly recommend heading over to the iconic Snowmass Bike Park, which welcomes outdoor recreation enthusiasts to enjoy the trails on-site well into early fall. In total, you’ll have access to more than 25 miles of mountain biking trails across the bike park, suitable for athletes of all skill levels. With typically fewer visitors here this time of year, you can take advantage of thrilling rides through lush forests at your own preferred pace, knowing the path is wide open for your enjoyment.
Add Fly Fishing to the Itinerary
Yet another benefit to making your way to Snowmass this September is that the award-winning waterways found here will be quiet and welcoming if you find yourself in the mood to cast a line. When fly fishing is your angling approach of choice, the Roaring Fork Valley is a must-visit this time of year. If you’re new to fly fishing and excited to try, local guides at Aspen Flyfishing Inc., or Aspen Guide Service, are more than happy to help you set up your customized day on the water. Booking a guided experience of this type can be just as beneficial if you’re experienced but new to the Snowmass area and looking to hone your skills and find your way to top angling destinations more quickly.
