When we lived there we tried to take Columbus Day weekend and go to New Hampshire White Mountains. We stayed at the Mount Washington Hotel Bretton Woods a couple of times. Great day drive up there, nice place to stay, good color and an easy drive back home.

In Colorado we do the drive on the Peak to Peak highway. Colorado aspens tend to be yellow and not much reds. Oaks and maples definitely make for better quality leaf peeping. One of the US top 10 is on the western slope so might be worth checking out.
