Beautiful fall colors and herds of sheep make for some awesome photography.

Fall time in Colorado is incredibly scenic, and if you drive up to Crested Butte, you may find herds of sheep being led down the mountains. Drive along Kebbler Pass in September and October, and look for these huge herds of sheep. Though it can be difficult to track them down, they make for amazing photos and a very rad experience! Border collies can be seen herding them across roads and slowly down the mountain. This is definitely a unique experience.

Come for the fall colors, stay for the cute family of sheep! It’s a nice surprise to see them in the beautiful Aspen groves! Come in fall for colors or wildflowers in the summer.

Drive Kebler Pass for Fall Colors

Kebler Pass, or Gunnison County Road (GCR) 12, is an excellent place to see fall colors in Colorado.

Camp at Kebler Pass

Camping on Kebler Pass begins at around GPS: 38.89575, -107.214655. The pass is only available during the warmer summer months but is quite the treat. We went in August to catch an eclipse and the rolling free hills made it a great place to view from. You pass a reservoir on your way in where many were fishing and boating. The big draw of Kebler Pass is it's ability to make you feel like you'r...

Upper Westside to Crested Butte

Hike to Meridian Lake

The trail starts off with a small river crossing. You can find an easier place to cross nearby, or just march right through, if you have waterproof shoes or sandals.The beginning of the trail is the hardest. You will have a steep incline for about a quarter mile, following switchbacks up to the lake. Trust me, it's worth it! When you approach the lake, you will have an option to either go left ...
