Starbucks has brought back their Pumpkin Spice Latte, nights are getting way cooler around here, and I know there are a ton of people pumped for fall to get here… It won’t be long!

Fall officially starts Sun, Sept. 22nd at 6:43 AM (thanks Google), but it’ll likely start to feel like fall in Colorado before that!

The Pinpoint Weather team at FOX31 and Channel 2 just put out their initial predictions for when trees around Colorado will see their leaves reach peak fall colors.

  • Sept. 15-29
    • Rocky Mountain National Park, Steamboat Springs and Flat Tops
  • Sept. 22 – Oct. 5
    • Vail, Summit County, Aspen, Gunnison and Grand Mesa
  • Sept. 30 – Oct. 18
    • San Juan Mountains and Sangre de Cristo Mountains
  • October
    • Denver metro area

Of course, these are just a good guess for now, but go ahead and start getting your hoodies, Ugg Boots, and PSLs ready!
