COLORADO is known for its natural beauty, offering visitors a chance to participate in plenty of outdoor activities. Situated among the Rocky Mountains and less than 10 miles away from the famed ski town of Aspen, one quiet town has been named among the best in the nation to visit during the fall season. Snowmass Village is a small, quaint town in Pitkin County, Colorado , with a population of just over 3,000 full-time residents.

Most people tend to think of winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing when it comes to the Centennial State, and the Snowmass Ski Area makes the town a popular winter resort location. However, Snowmass Village is filled with surprises, and the state's lush, natural landscapes – from mountains and canyons to forests and rivers – make it a picturesque place to visit during the fall season. Between September and October is the perfect time to visit thanks to fewer crowds, crisp, cool air, and plenty of seasonal offerings.

No matter what type of vacation you're looking for, Snowmass Village offers a little something for everyone.
