Why Colorado has had such a beautiful Autumn

Leaf peeping, the practice of driving into nature and photographing fall foliage, has become a customary event in Colorado. Places like Highway 285 over Kenosha Pass can turn into parking lots with eager drivers on the lookout for the subject of their next Instagram post.

But this fall, people in the Denver metro area hardly had to leave their front porch to experience the majesty of autumn in Colorado. And the season was especially beautiful in contrast to the truncated autumn of 2020.
