Halloween Pumpkin Patches for High Country Families

October! Halloween candy and costumes dot the shelves of our Colorado Mountain town grocery stores. Harvest, a time in Colorado brings Apples, Peppers, Corn, Grapes, Wheat, Peaches and PUMPKINS! There is nothing like heading to the pumpkin farm for a session of pick your own pumpkins. We know a plethora of places to go on the front range but what about here in the high country? After a little reasearch here a few, some complete with corn mazes, fun activities and more.
