This year's fall colors in Colorado are stunning and much of the state is seeing peak foliage this week.

What to see: We pulled together a dozen photos from across Colorado, submitted by our readers and taken by our staff, that showcase the turning of the leaves in 2023.

The bottom line: The mountains are calling.
