With the recent snowfall and cold weather making itself home in the mountains for another winter season, many ski resorts have already opened or are in heavy preparation to open soon. Private ski resorts such as Loveland Ski Area and Arapahoe Basin have been open for more than a week now creating a large influx of skiers and riders to the area. Early November will bring even more visitors to the area with the opening of some of Colorado’s most popular ski resorts.Halloween Events across Colorado

The state of Colorado is said to have two seasons. Winter and summer. People simply come to ski in the winter and hike in the summer. Well, this is false. People still come to do those activities, but there really is no off time for Colorado. October is one of the most beautiful months to visit Colorado and is also a time visitors can take advantage of deals on lodging, restaurants, and other amenities.Fall Road Trips

With recent snow fall in the mountains and the changing of the aspen trees this fall, the best outdoor activity might actually be a nice long scenic drive.

It’s the middle of September which can only mean one thing; it’s time for Oktoberfest (I know, weird)! Over the course of history, the original Oktoberfest that takes place in Munich, Germany has moved into the month of September in order to capitalize on better weather. Now that just about every major city and town in America hosts their own version of Oktoberfest, it is not uncommon to find them taking place throughout the entire fall season.September Events

Colorado is a state that is known for two seasons; winter and summer. Fall and spring don’t receive their due diligence because of the uniqueness of the high elevation climate. With that said, there are still tons of activities to participate in even though we are outside of Colorado’s two peak seasons. Take a look at all the fun being had this September:
