Front Range Fall Getaways: The Ultimate Weekend RV Trips from Littleton

There’s no better time to take your RV out on the road than fall in Colorado. As the summer heat fades, the mountains turn into a glowing canvas of gold, amber, and crimson. Staying close to the Denver Metro area doesn't mean sacrificing spectacular mountain views or crisp high-country air. In fact, some of the state's most iconic autumn landscapes are just a short drive from our lot in Littleton. At All Stars RV, as a family-owned business serving our local community for nearly two decades, we love helping local adventurers make the most of every season. Whether you're towing a light travel trailer or driving a Class A motorhome, here are three perfect weekend RV trips to take this fall, complete with local tips to make your autumn getaway unforgettable.

1. Peak-to-Peak Scenic Byway (Estes Park to Nederland)

• Drive Time from Littleton: ~1.5 Hours • Best Time for Fall Colors: Mid-September through Early October • Recommended RV Type: Travel Trailers, Class B/C, Teardrops/Popups If you’re looking for classic autumn views, Colorado’s oldest scenic byway delivers every time. Route 119/72 winds through pine forests and glowing aspen groves, offering panoramic views of the Continental Divide. What to Do: • Golden Gate Canyon State Park: Park your rig and hike the Panorama Point Trail for a sweeping view of golden aspens framing snow-dusted peaks. • Explore Nederland: Stop by this eclectic mountain town for local coffee, crafts, and a spin on the historic Carousel above 8,000 feet. • Estes Park Basecamp: Set up camp near Estes Park to spot bugling elk during their annual autumn rut in Rocky Mountain National Park. Pro RV Tip: Mountain passes can get windy and chilly fast. Make sure your water lines and holding tanks are insulated or winterized appropriately before taking off into higher elevations late in the season.

2. Guanella Pass & Georgetown

• Drive Time from Littleton: ~1 Hour • Best Time for Fall Colors: Mid-September to Late September • Recommended RV Type: Class B/C, Compact Travel Trailers Located just west of Denver off I-70, Guanella Pass Scenic Byway is an ideal option for a quick Friday-to-Sunday trip. Climbing up to 11,670 feet, the pass connects Georgetown and Grant through thick forests of golden aspen trees. What to Do: • Georgetown Loop Railroad: Ride a historic steam locomotive through the canyon for a unique view of the autumn foliage. • Historic Downtown Georgetown: Stroll through 19th-century Victorian architecture filled with local shops, bakeries, and craft breweries. • High-Alpine Camping: Reserve a spot at Guanella Pass Campground or along Geneva Creek for peaceful streamside camping. Pro RV Tip: The pass has steep grades and tight turns near the summit. Ensure your vehicle’s braking systems—especially towed vehicle brake systems—are fully inspected and operational before hitting the incline.

3. Eleven Mile State Park & South Park Valley

• Drive Time from Littleton: ~2 Hours • Best Time for Fall Colors: Late September through Mid-October • Recommended RV Type: Class A, Fifth Wheels, Toy Haulers, Travel Trailers For RVers who prefer wide-open spaces, high-country reservoirs, and world-class fall fishing, head southwest down Highway 285 through the South Park basin to Eleven Mile Reservoir. What to Do: • Fall Fishing: Eleven Mile Reservoir is famous for trophy-sized trout and northern pike, which stay active right through the crisp autumn months. • Eleven Mile Canyon: Drive along the South Platte River as it winds through granite cliffs draped in vibrant fall yellow hues. • Stargazing: With minimal light pollution, the crisp fall nights around the reservoir offer incredible views of the Milky Way. Pro RV Tip: High-prairie fall nights drop below freezing quickly. Make sure your heating system and propane supply are in top shape!
