Colorado mountain town dubbed a 'top spot to visit' during fall
- By Spencer McKee & Special Thanks OutThere Colorado
According to US News and World Report, one town in Colorado is among the top 20 'fall vacation spots' in the United States and Canada.
Ranking 12th on a list of 20 places was the tiny San Juan mountain range town of Telluride. To those familiar with Colorado, this nod should come as no surprise. Telluride has long been heralded as one of the best spots to see fall colors in the Centennial State. Coupled with the outdoor recreation opportunities and a number of fall festivals that take place in this area, this remote enclave is hard to beat.

Topping the US News and World Report list was Asheville, North Carolina, thanks to its proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail.
