The Best Things to Do on a Fall Escape to Breckenridge, Colorado

As the greens of summer give way to the golden hues of fall, Breckenridge, Colorado, transforms into a picturesque destination. While this town is known for being a popular winter and summer vacation spot, there’s something magical about visiting in the fall. There’s no better partner for your autumn getaway than Alpine Meadows Management. Our team is local, so we have first-hand knowledge of the best things to do between September and November. Keep reading to learn more about some of our favorite adventures.


Surround Yourself in Fall Colors

Thanks to the season’s cooler temperatures and Breckenridge’s high altitude, you can expect to witness incredible fall colors. The Colorado town is usually one of the first places in the country to start seeing fall foliage. Leaves will generally start to turn in early to mid-September, but this can vary. We recommend searching for some type of foliage report to see when colors will peak. 

Once the leaves start to turn, there are several ways to view them. One is going on a scenic drive, like the Boreas Pass, a 22-mile corridor that connects Breckenridge and Como. You can also go hiking along area trails, like the Little French Gulch Trail or Sallie Barber Mine Trail.


Check Out Memorable Festivals

No matter the time of year, there’s something going on in Breckenridge, and fall is no exception. There are numerous festivals and events taking place, and these happenings are the perfect thing to plan your vacation around. Experience Breckenridge Oktoberfest in September, or book your visit for the Breckenridge Craft Spirits Festival or Dia De Los Muertos in October.


Enjoy Other Fun Adventures

While temperatures are cooler than summer, you can still enjoy popular outdoor activities. Go fly fishing with a local guide from Breckenridge Outfitters or Mountain Angler. Embrace the spookiness of the season on a ghost tour with Breckenridge Tours or Breckenridge History.
