After Work Adventures | Wednesday, September 23, 2026
I headed up onto the Grand Mesa this afternoon to spend a few hours seeing how the fall colors were coming along like I try do each year around this time. As I was driving up the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway I found that there was still a lot of green lower down around the Mesa Creek area, but there were a few patches of nice colors here and there, including some oranges. Unfortunately, my favorite overlook at Skyway Point was already past it’s prime, so it was kind of a mixed bag this year and didn’t seem to be a great year for fall colors on the Mesa, which isn’t too surprising with how hot and dry it has been this past summer. Although the fall colors weren’t the greatest this time around, it was still nice to get up onto the Mesa for a few hours after work this afternoon.
