Golden Gate Canyon State Park Fall Peak Colors: Raccoon Trail(+Moose)

Come along for a late September fall hike at Golden Gate Canyon State Park on the Raccoon Trail Loop! We kick things off at Panorama Point Overlook (make sure to arrive early for parking!) with stunning views of Longs Peak, then dive right into glowing golden aspen groves. This ~2.5-mile loop takes us through beautiful aspen stands, rocky viewpoints, trail junctions with the Mule Deer Trail, and a quick detour to check out a historic cabin. Plus, stick around until the end for bonus footage: the scenic drive to Nederland and a rare moose sighting!
