FALL COLORS in Aspen
As temperatures drop, Aspen's mountainsides transform almost overnight. Aspen trees turn a brilliant gold that blankets the trails and valleys in color that lingers only a few short weeks — some of the most spectacular fall foliage in the Rocky Mountains. Anglers will love our Walk and Wade fly fishing trip on the Roaring Fork River or fishing from the stocked ponds at T Lazy 7 Ranch, exclusively available through The Little Nell. And finally, we encourage you to take in the fall colors from the driver’s seat of one of the hotel’s fully electric Audi Q6 e-tron or Audi Q7, available to hotel guests through our Audi Test Drive Program, Explore the area’s most scenic byways from Independence Pass to Castle Creek Road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aspen's fall colors typically peak from late September into early October, when the aspen groves turn a brilliant gold across the hillsides, though exact timing shifts year to year with elevation and weather. The Little Nell, at the base of Aspen Mountain, is a Five-Star address for experiencing the season at its best.
Some of the most spectacular fall foliage in Aspen can be found along Independence Pass, Castle Creek Road, the Maroon Bells, and Richmond Ridge atop Aspen Mountain. The Little Nell's Adventure Center can arrange guided off-road tours and scenic drives to reach all of them.
As temperatures drop and daylight shortens, aspens stop producing chlorophyll, revealing the golden pigments beneath and blanketing the hillsides around Aspen in color each fall.
Fall in Aspen means foliage drives, guided off-road tours up Aspen Mountain, Walk and Wade fly fishing on the Roaring Fork, spa afternoons, and wine cellar dinners at The Little Nell. It's a quiet, golden season, unhurried and entirely its own, before the mountain is blanketed in snow.
