Vail, Colorado is famous for it’s awe-inspiring back bowl skiing with endless powder days to boot. There are many other reasons both locals and visitors adore the Vail Valley – one of which is the incredible Fall foliage every year as summer fades into cooler, more vibrant months. We’ve rounded up our 5 favorite leaf peeping spots in the Vail Valley for all ages and abilities!
1. Berrypicker Trail
Coming out of the gate with a more difficult option is the Berrypicker Trail on Vail Mountain. A Vail classic, the trail winds through aspen groves. As you climb higher you’ll catch a birds eye view of Lionshead down bellow and views for days at the Summit. Learn more about Berrypicker Trail here.
2. NORTH TRAIL
Get a different view from across I-70 looking at Vail Mountain on North Trail. As you proceed up the trail you’ll pass through breathtaking aspen groves along the way. Take a break, look across the valley to the aspens painting the ski resort! Learn more about North Trail here.
