Why Fall in Keystone is Our Favorite Time of Year
As the sun begins to set on summer and a crisp chill fills the air, Keystone transforms. While the mountain awaits its first snowfall, autumn arrives with a magic all its own. From stunning colors to quiet trails, here's why we love fall in Keystone.
The Colors of Colorado
Colorado is famous for its fall "leaf-peeping," and Keystone is no exception. The hillsides erupt in a spectacular display of red, brown, and the most brilliant gold you've ever seen. The Keystone Aqueduct Trail is a fantastic place to take in the views, offering a bird's-eye perspective of the vibrant landscape. Bring your camera to capture the moment, or simply enjoy a peaceful stroll among the changing leaves.
Uncrowded Trails and Wildlife Sightings
Unlike the busy summer and winter seasons, fall hiking trails are wonderfully uncrowded. You might find yourself as the only person on the trail, which also increases your chances of spotting local wildlife. If you venture towards Montezuma, you can even explore an authentic ghost town. Pack a picnic and get ready to lose yourself in the quiet beauty of the mountains.
Peace and Quiet at Your Condo
After a day of hiking, nothing beats a relaxing soak. In the fall, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the pools and hot tubs without the usual crowds. Forget the "Marco-Polo" games of summer or the busy après-ski scene of winter. You can have the pool all to yourself or choose your favorite spot in the hot tub.
Incredible Deals on Dining
Fall is the perfect time to explore the local dining scene. Many restaurants in nearby Dillon and Silverthorne offer "locals" deals, with fantastic specials like two-for-one entrees and discounted drinks. Not only will you find great food at a great price, but you'll also avoid the long waits of peak season.
