Gold rush: Fall peaks in Summit County
Update: 2024-09-24
Description
Back in the mid to late 1800s, people flocked to Colorado’s mountains for gold nuggets. Now, they come in droves for gold leaves.
Fall foliage is peaking in Summit County and much of Colorado’s mountains right now.
The weekend of Sept. 22, which marked the official first day of fall, leaves seemed to all burst into color at once.
