ESTES PARK, Colo.-
Gold and white are the colors of the Rocky Mountains as the leaves change and the first snowfalls hit.
Snow has already fallen in several locations, and the Loveland Ski Area said it hoped to begin making snow by October.
The high country is a popular destination for day-trippers coming to see the aspens and other vegetation change color. Leaves change later in the season at lower elevations.
