fall foliage conditions at the Abyss Trail on Guanella Pass: at peak color as of 9/18/26 🍂✨ If you’re planning to hike here this weekend, arrive early, park legally, and LEAVE NO TRACE: that means staying on trail (even when it’s muddy), and never carving into aspens. The total hike is 12.6 miles, but the aspen groves are primarily between miles 2 and 3.5! I’ll have a hiking vlog up soon with more details, but I’d recommend turning around at the second major creek crossing at about 3.3 miles if your primarily goal is fall colors 🍁 #colorado #fall #Hiking #nature #solotravel
