One of the defining trees of fall in the high country is the aspen — offering a flash of fluorescent color amongst a sea of pines.

Here are our top places to see fall color, but your best bet may be to just get out and drive. Just remember to bring plenty of water and warm clothing if heading out on a day trip.
