October at Taharaa Mountain Lodge captures everything we love about fall in the Rockies—golden aspen groves, crisp mountain air, and quiet mornings filled with sunlight and warmth.
Perched above Estes Park with sweeping views of the Continental Divide, Taharaa offers guests a front-row seat to nature’s most colorful season. Elk still wander through the meadows below, the last of the wildflowers fade into gold, and the mountain peaks begin to sparkle with early dustings of snow.
Guests can start each day with a fresh, homemade breakfast before heading into Rocky Mountain National Park for a hike beneath the aspens or a scenic drive along Trail Ridge Road before it closes for winter. Evenings are best spent on the enclosed deck or by the fire, watching the sun dip behind the peaks.
For couples planning weddings or elopements, October provides the perfect blend of fall color and crisp, clear light—ideal for timeless mountain photographs. Whether you’re visiting for romance, rest, or adventure, Taharaa Mountain Lodge is the place where Colorado’s autumn truly shines.
