Fall! In the 14ers region of South Central Colorado!

The best time to experience Colorado is late August into late September. Gone are the crowds and traffic of summer. The days are typically warm and sunny, and nights are blissfully cool. The mountains are quiet and deserted.

In early September yellow specks of changing aspens begin to show at high elevations and signal that summer is winding down. Sometime between the second and fourth weeks of September, mountain hillsides explode with gloriously golden aspens. By early October a white dusting settles on high mountain peaks and the golden transformation is gone.

Spruce Ridge Llamas Fall Foliage Treks are the perfect way for foliage seekers, photographers and artists to capture the richness of Colorado gold in "them-thar-hills!" "Spectacular!" "I can't believe it!" "I've never seen anything like it!" are common expressions on our foliage treks.

The best viewing begins around the third to fourth weeks of September. You'll get to lead a llama and let him carry all your camera gear, sketch pads or paints, binoculars, and other clothing. The pace is leisurely and the walk is relatively easy so you can enjoy and soak in the beauty that surrounds you.

Advance Reservations are needed for all day treks.

"The fall foliage trip I took with Dan Jones, as guide, was breathtaking. The brilliant colors of Colorado in the fall cannot be duplicated - not even in a photograph! Dan is a walking resource bank of information about Colorado plants, trees, animals, climate, terrain and local folklore. I would go every year if possible."  -Linda DeHoff, Whitney, Texas
