Hikes you don't want to miss this fall!

Earlier this year I started a list for myself on all of the best hikes to do around Colorado to catch the leaves changing, and I thought why not share it with my hiking family! Most of these are rather difficult (because I love a good challenging hike) but I've thrown in some easy guys to be more inclusive and broke the list down in three segments so you won't be guessing which is a 2 mile easy hike and which one is going to take all day and a piece of you with it. Have fun and catch those colors changing!!!
