Plan for highs in the 50's and 60's with lows in the 30's and 40's. Fall tends to greet visitors with blue skies, lots of sun (don't put away that sunscreen just yet), and puffy white clouds. A photographer's dream. Add golden leaves and the views (even just on the Pueblo Loop Trail) can be just spectacular.![]() Photo by Sally King If you like wildlife, especially creepy crawlers, fall is the season of the migration of the tarantulas, as males leave their burrows in search of females. For those of you not so enamored of spiders, don't worry. The Pueblo Loop Trail is wide and paved making it easy to step around these amorous arachnids. Please don't hurt them. They are just looking for a love. ![]() Photo by Sally King ![]() BULL ELK |
