Colorado’s Drought-Altered Fall Foliage | Denver News

This year’s Colorado fall foliage is turning up the drama—early, browner, and briefer. Drought and last winter’s record-low snowpack are forcing trees to shut down faster, skipping the usual vibrant show for a quicker, more muted transition. Wildlife’s struggling too: moose, elk, and bears are on edge as food vanishes, urging visitors to tread lightly. Peak color may arrive sooner, but the window’s shorter. Check forest closures and local updates before heading out—this autumn’s beauty might be quieter, but it’s still worth seeing.
