“This will be our third year in a row to do this wonderful trip. Most everyone who went in 2009 rated it highly.” Foliage can vary from year to year, but our date is usually when foliage is at its peak. The fall color in the Rockies is mostly the Aspens which are a light green until the Fall, when they turn golden in color – a true spectacular sight. Our motor coach will be with us all the way & will carry our baggage so no baggage handling on the trains.
