where are the best climbs to see fall colors?
|
|
curious where the aspens are changing color already and where to climb that has lots of aspen groves |
|
|
Golden Gate Canyon State Park is pretty nice, though the colors probably won't be poppin' for another few weeks. |
|
|
Colors were definitely starting to pop in Lander up by Wild Iris this past weekend! |
|
|
Monitor rock. |
|
|
I’m not there so idk about timing, but the aspens in the Voo go crazy. |
|
|
Independence pass has some amazing aspen foliage, not sure on the current status of the leaves turning though! |
|
|
The north side of the Platte is already having leaves change (Buff Creek, The Castle, Bailey) - Lost Creek Wilderness will probably be peaking in two weeks. |
|
|
South of guanella pass is starting to go- I’d bet it’ll be really pretty soon. |
|
|
Leaves are changing up on independence pass, monitor rock on twin lakes side and grottos wall on the aspen side! |
|
|
Some combination of routes up the west side of sheep rock makes for very fun, long (up to 11 pitches), and yet still not very committing day with awesome views of the aspens in lost creek wilderness. Linked fractured fairy tails (6 pitches), with routes up acid rock (4 pitches) and final pitch to the top of Velcro/Sheep Rock (1-2 pitches) for a fun day with tons of moderate friction slab. Routes on the north side (land time forgot) look awesome/harder but probably not much in the way of fall colors till you get near the summit. |

Now is the only time Royal Flush is worth it. |

yeah, lost creek wilderness is pretty fantastic when the colors are going off. |
