Re: 2022 Leaf Peeping
Hiked the Abyss trail today - that trail specifically is nearing peak. The aspens over the trail are brilliant, the ones alongside the hills still have a few more days.
Guanella pass needs a few more days, as does the 285 corridor. Some trees around Bailey seemed to be going straight to brown

Re: 2022 Leaf Peeping
Either things are changing fast or my eyes were tricking me as I drove from I-70 to Leadville and it seemed nearly all the trees were turned - lots of gold.
I'd say that stretch seems like it's already at peak - didn't see much green left...

Independence pass looked great and some along Fremont pass and in by SIlverthorne. Starting to pop but still another week to peak.

Re: 2022 Leaf Peeping
Was looking pretty good at the Beaver Creek TH near Fairplay today.
Went over Guanella on the way back to Denver and it wasn't as far along but also looking good in spots (super busy though).

Re: 2022 Leaf Peeping
Music Pass and the Rainbow Trail are looking good and probably a week or less from their peak.

I was in Granby yesterday. The leaves there are close to peak.
