Top Cañon City Day Trips

Climb 5,000 feet above Canon City into the high gold mining districts to witness the yearly color change of the aspens on this full-day tour. The Colorado leaf color change varies year to year but typically starts in September and continues into October. With warmer weather than the rest of Colorado, crystal blue skies over the gold and yellow leaves make for the perfect photo opportunity. Don't forget your camera!

Feast your eyes on one of Colorado’s most picturesque routes on a 6-hour jeep tour of the Gold Belt Scenic Byway from Cañon City. Ascend to the historic gold mining towns of Victor and Cripple Creek; absorb spectacular views from a 11,000-foot (3,352-meter) vantage point; and explore Garden Park Fossil Area, full of ancient treasures. Lunch is included.
