We've carved out some of the best patches in the region so you can pick the best pumpkin from the lot.

Break out the flannels and pour yourself a warm cup of apple cider – autumn has arrived in the Pikes Peak region and we are NOT complaining. There are plenty of fall activities to partake in, but one of our favorites is pumpkin picking with a gorgeous mountain view as your backdrop.
