Come to historic Cripple Creek, where brilliant fall colors and the town’s famous free-roaming donkeys provide a one-of-a-kind backdrop for your leaf-peeping adventures. Savor live music, seasonal food and drinks, and festive activities like pumpkin carving, pie-eating contests, and a Fall photo booth. Meet the beloved donkeys—cared for by the Two Mile High Club—and even feed them specially approved treats available at local shops and museums. With its autumn beauty, small-town charm, and living history, Cripple Creek is the perfect fall destination.
