1. Leaf Peeping Road Trips 🚗🍁

Let’s start with a classic: leaf peeping! Load up the car, crank up your best fall playlist (extra points for Taylor Swift’s “Red”), and head out to the breathtaking Gold Camp Road or the Pikes Peak Highway. 🌄 Watch in awe as Mother Nature shows off her fall fashion—50 shades of yellow, orange, and red. Just don’t get too distracted by the view and drive off the cliff. Safety first, folks!

2. Pumpkin Patch Pickin’ 🎃👩‍🌾

No fall is complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch. Head over to Venetucci Farm or Long Neck Pumpkin Farm, where you can spend a day pretending you know how to pick the perfect pumpkin. Is it the roundness? The color? Who knows! Just pick the one that “speaks” to you. And don’t forget to capture that “I’m-so-wholesome-I-might-just-be-in-a-Hallmark-movie” moment for Instagram! 📸

3. Corn Maze Confusion 🌽🤔

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a lost child in a supermarket, boy, do I have an activity for you! Corn mazes are basically escape rooms without walls—and sometimes without mercy. 🌾 Head to Miner’s Pumpkin Patch and test your navigational skills. Will you make it out in under an hour, or will you need to be rescued by a teenager on a tractor? Either way, it’s an experience!

4. Scary(ish) Ghost Tours 👻🚶‍♂️

Colorado Springs has a haunted side that comes alive in the fall. Join a ghost tour and explore the spookier side of downtown, Manitou Springs, or even Old Colorado City. 🏚️ It’s a fun way to learn some local history…and maybe scream like a banshee when a tree branch brushes your shoulder. Bring a friend who runs slower than you—just in case. 😉

5. Apple Picking Adventures 🍎🍏

Take a day trip to Happy Apple Farm in Penrose, where you can pluck apples straight from the tree like a true pioneer. Channel your inner Johnny Appleseed and fill your basket with fresh, crisp apples. Just remember, climbing the trees is frowned upon (trust me, I’ve asked). 🤷‍♀️ And once you’re home, impress everyone with your homemade apple pie…or just buy one from the farm store and take all the credit. I won’t judge.

6. Oktoberfest Shenanigans 🍺🥨

Grab your lederhosen and your dancing shoes because Oktoberfest is calling! Swing by one of the local celebrations, like the Oktoberfest at Western Museum of Mining & Industry, and get ready for some good ol’ fashioned polka dancing. 🕺💃 Whether you’re there for the brats, the beer, or just to see how many pretzels you can eat without passing out, it’s bound to be a grand time!

7. Haunted Houses That Will Make You Scream Louder Than Your Kids at Bedtime 🏚️😱

If you love being scared out of your wits, check out one of the many haunted houses around. HellScream Haunted House and The Haunted Mines are not for the faint-hearted. Enter if you dare, and prepare for jump scares, creepy clowns, and that one guy with a chainsaw who seems a little too into his role. 🤡 Just remember to bring a change of pants.

8. Hiking with a Pumpkin Spice Twist 🥾☕

For those who like their exercise with a side of basic, hit the trails with a thermos full of pumpkin spice latte. 🍂🍵 The Seven Bridges Trail or Red Rock Canyon are perfect for a brisk fall hike. And the best part? You get to reward yourself with a baked apple cider donut afterward because you “earned it.”
