Private Colorado Fall Colors Tour from Vail
For a few golden weeks each fall, the aspens turn the mountains around Vail and Aspen to fire. This private fall colors tour puts you in a luxury SUV or Mercedes Sprinter with a professional chauffeur who knows exactly where the color is peaking. Climb Independence Pass through hillsides of gold, roll through the Castle Creek valley near Aspen, and stop wherever the light is best. One flat price per vehicle, and the whole day is yours and your group only.
Chase the gold with a private chauffeur
Colorado fall color is spectacular and short. The aspens usually peak in the high country from the middle of September into the first week of October, and the exact window shifts a little every year with the weather. Timing and location are everything, and that is where a local chauffeur pays for itself. We watch the color as it turns and take you where it is best on the day of your tour, instead of guessing from a map.
You ride in comfort while someone else handles the mountain roads, so you can keep your eyes on the hillsides and hop out for photos whenever a view stops you. It is the most relaxed way to see a Colorado fall, and a favorite for families, photographers, and anyone who wants the leaf peeping without the driving.
