I say either week, because it's still too early in the spring/summer season to accurately gauge when the fall peak will occur. A better route, if you're flexible, is to keep your travel plans in play until you hear of the colors getting real close, then firm up the reservations and go. Peak fall colors in the San Juans last only about a week, at best. Generally, if you're looking for fall color, that'll be timberline on down, mostly in the elevation range the aspens like. There are tons of some of the tallest aspens I've ever seen on route 550 leading north out of Durango. Another good area for photo ops is around Ophir, just south of Telluride. Probably the best thing to do is just drive around and look for whatever strikes your fancy.

I spent the end of June in the San Juans, great opportunities. A question?? When is it best for Fall Colors. My options are the 3rd week of September or the 4th of October on. I plan to spend a week there. Any advice on timing and place to photograph would be helpful. Leo Christoffer Washington State
