Mid-Autumn Longmont 2026

Mid-Autumn colors in Longmont are looking good this year, helped by a drier September and October.  

Early settlers to the St. Vrain Valley would have only found cottonwoods (plains and narrowleaf varieties) turning yellow, growing along the creeks, much like this view:

 Along Left Hand Creek:

Contrasting the ever-present yellow, the Autumn Blaze Maple is popular in Longmont:

Old Town:


Roosevelt Park:

It's only October and many trees are still holding their leaves like this giant Cottonwood in front of Roosevelt Recreation Center:
