Wyoming’s fall is early, concentrated at high elevation, and short; almost the whole state peaks inside two weeks.

Aspen and cottonwood in the Tetons, the Snowy Range, the Bighorns and around Encampment and Meadowlark Lake turn in the first ten days of October, the river towns of Cody, Sheridan and Jackson follow within the week, and Yellowstone’s aspen and willow close the season in the middle of the month.
