When Larry Lantero decided to build a new home in Steamboat Springs, he knew he didn’t want a design that used the modern mountain architectural style. Instead, the vice president of Abbott Construction, a West Coast-based company that builds homes, schools and health care facilities, wanted to do something more retro for his passion project. Lantero, who earned his civil engineering degree from the University of Colorado Boulder and who has family living in Colorado, also wanted to build using beetle-kill pine. “I’m an avid outdoors person, and it’s always bothered me to see giant chunks of forest dead,” he said. He and his wife considered relocating their family from California during the pandemic.

Fall marks a big change to the agricultural growing season, but before you give in to the gourds, celebrate Colorado’s rich soils that produce seemingly endless varieties of apples. Lucky for locals, several festivals do just that. Here are three fall events from the Front Range to the Western Slope where you can indulge in locally-made cider and more apple-tastic fun.
