Hint of fall

The calls have started coming in to us at the Gazette: When, exactly, are the aspen going to change? While we don't claim to have any insider information on fall, we do have a resource that can help us find the gold. In the interest of informed leaf-peeping, we're going to share it with you. It's the Colorado State Parks Web site, which offers a fall update on leaf changing at all its parks. Go to www.parks.state.co.us/fall/
for the latest information. Best bets right now? Eldorado Canyon and Roxborough state parks and the area around Cripple Creek. For more photos of colors from years past, check out www.coloradoguy.com, where Steve Garufi posts his favorite shots (including this one from Teller County).
