Beautiful fall foliage is right around the corner! If you thought taking a scooter out to see the colors would be a good idea, you are right.
One of my favorite routes is to the Fern Lake Trailhead. It's unpaved, however the dirt is so packed, your only danger is getting dusty.
Directions to Fern Lake: Enter the park via 36, and take your first left once you pass thru the gates. Bear Lake Road takes you to Moraine Park, and hang a right as if you were going to the campsites.
A sign for Fern Lake Trailhead directs you to turn left, and once you get down in the valley, you'll follow a river all the way back to a set of restrooms. Hang another left there.
This will take you down a lane of Aspens so beautiful. Even if you don't catch the color change, that ride is one of my favorites.
Of course once you are back there, enjoy a nice hike along the river to at least The Pool!
This time of year is also a good time to start bringing along warmer clothes on the ride. Some even feel light gloves make the ride more comfortable.
Also, with kids back in school, and the passing of Labor Day, there will be a lot less traffic in town, making your ride even more enjoyable!!
