According to AAA, Lamoille Canyon is “one of the most unforgettable destinations in the West for fall foliage.” In early to mid-October the aspens and other trees glow in the sun in Lamoille Canyon.
The Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway takes you twelve miles through striking terrain with rugged cliffs, steeply carved granite mountains and up a U shaped canyon carved out by ancient glaciers that crests at 8,800 feet. When you are at the top, make sure to take the Island Lake Trail. It is a two-mile hiking trail with switchbacks to help with the moderately steep sections.
