Autumn Vacation at Breckenridge
When the blazing summertime sun slowly cools as autumn approaches, Breckenridge, Co has a good deal more to offer aside from just counting down the days till you break in your new skis. Sure, activities like white water rafting, fly fishing and sun tanning that needs warmer days may likely dwindle as the air gets nippy but that doesn't mean one should abandon outdoorsy activities completely. Colorado can never rival the gloriously famous fall foliage of the plains of New England and along the Midwest, but there is certainly an abundance of colorful foliage nonetheless from the wondrous aspen tree.
Aspen trees are abundant in the Northern Hemisphere, extending south at high altitudes in the mountains. Aspen trees inhabit the Rocky Mountains and colonize mountain towns like Breckenridge. The Quaking Aspen, as it is famously known for its tear-shaped leaves of bright green that turns to spectacular tints of red, yellow, and almost gold color. The aspens quaking leaves got their name because of the unusual ability of the leaves to flutter and twist flexibly as the wind passes through it, thus making an equally unusual and intriguing sound. Standing under a cluster of the tree, one would experience a calming feeling, filling the senses with wondrous color of reddish-brown, yellow and gold while they whisper their magical sounds in your ear. It is greatly suggested one should spend as much possible time under these trees. Activities such as an intimate mountain picnic, or reading a favorite book, cloud watching, or just plain old leaves watching are always good excuses to prolong time spent under the magnificent trees. Surely someone who enjoys photography will find themselves drawn to this
Finding the Quaking Aspens is as easy as getting in your car and getting into the 1-70 toward Breckenridge. One will surely find an engorging view of the mountains lined with the changing colors of the leaves. Still, it will entice you more to take a closer look, so go ahead and take a long hike on well-treaded trails or better yet, for the more adventurous and adrenalin charged, get on a bike or make it a perfect excuse to get lost while finding new trails. Chase the fleeting colors of aspen and fill your senses with the sight and sound of the aspen groves.
Don’t blink! You just might miss the moment. Like clockwork, mid-September is the perfect time to go and see the trees. Be sure to bring appropriate clothing, it's almost always a guarantee that a snow storm will hit before Halloween comes, as the weather gets colder the sooner it is the trees will loose their leaves. In addition, particularly dry summers make the leaves leave sooner. Nonetheless, aspen trees magnificent leaves never disappoint, the magnificent change will surely happen around this time. Aspen tree-crazy Colorado’s local television station provide continual updates on the leaves status and prescribes the best time, days and places to enjoy their splendor.
