Horsetooth Mountain Open Space outside of Fort Collins is a good place for families to hike. We take the Horsetooth Falls trail. It’s a 2.25 mile hike (round trip) that leads to some falls, rocks for scrambling on and a small/cave overhang. The falls does slow down to a trickle in late summer/fall. The trail has lots of fun ups and downs and crosses a creek.

Aspen Trees are the only trees in the Colorado Mountains that offer autumn color. These seasonal colors only last for about 3 weeks in September.

When we want to hike a trail that has some wonderful fall color, we like the following trails among others:

Kenosha Pass - West side (toward Goldhill segment of Colorado trail)

Kenosha Pass - East side (toward Long Gulch segment of Colorado trail)

Bierstadt Lake Trail (Rocky Mountain National Park)

Burning Bear Trail (East Entry)

Meyer Ranch Park
