Things To Do
Kenosha Pass
Located on Highway 285 between Bailey and Jefferson (on the way to the venue), Kenosha Pass is a high elevation mountain pass featuring miles of aspen trees. In the fall, their green leaves turn into a wonderful gold and yellow extravaganza. Kenosha Pass is abundant with parking places. You can simply get out of the car and walk close to aspens. Keep in mind that it can get pretty crowded. Every spot in Kenosha Pass is ideal for a fall foliage experience; just go there and enjoy the scattered fall colors!
Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre
One of the most unique concert venues in Colorado, Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, is worth checking out even during the day time. Sitting on the steps of Red Rocks before the sun rises and watching the sunrise over Denver is a great way to start your morning. With free parking and walking paths available, there are beautiful views of the rocks, the concert venue, and Denver in the distance. There are plenty of hiking trails around the area as well.
Boreas Pass
Boreas Pass is one of the top fall foliage destinations near Breckenridge, with plenty of lush golden aspens radiating color. Located south of town, Boreas Pass can be easily accessed via Boreas Pass Road or County Road 10, which goes directly over the dirt road pass. Once you get to the summit, you can park and take a 2.5-mile loop trail to enjoy the views of the Blue River Valley and Breckenridge Ski Resort. This rugged mountain pass takes you from Jefferson (near the venue) over to Breckenridge.
Breckenridge
If you're looking for an authentic Colorado mountain town experience, you have to check out downtown Breckenridge. Whether you want to find good food, places to shop, sit by the river, or experience the local culture, this is the place for it!
Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is the most grandiose and authentic Colorado experience. Drive on the highest continuous paved highway in North America at 12,100' above sea level, check out alpine lakes with short hikes, and see the Elk population and wildlife. Timed entry and purchased tickets are required well beforehand so plan accordingly.
