Colorado is steeped in amazing seasonal traditions, not the least of them being a trip up to the hills at the start of Fall to peep the changing leaves. Come September, Colorado is rich in yellows, oranges, and reds as the mountain leaves transition, with our state’s signature gold Aspen trees serving as the main event. Options abound for fall foliage drives; see the list below for some of the most iconic destinations, as well as some hidden gems that you won’t want to miss. Be sure and hit the road between mid-September and the end of October so as not to miss out on the beauty that is Colorado Fall.

It is likely the role your car plays in your life has changed significantly since the start of the pandemic. If you had asked me in January, I would have said your car is likely used most to get you to and from work. Now, with an entirely different culture and reality, the car has taken on a new place in society. We are using our cars to safely celebrate the things in life we miss, like milestones and travel. 

We just returned from a cruise to Italy, Sicily, Malta, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and finally 10 days on land in Israel. If that sounds like a lot of places to visit, you’re right, it was a whirlwind trip. We were on a plane, ship, a lot of buses, taxis, trains, 4x4, jeep and a rental car. To be honest, besides the ship, only because of the food, our favorite mode of transportation was driving ourselves around Israel. Using Google or Waze takes getting lost out of the equation so you can simply drive at your pace and visit on your timetable the places you want to visit.
