Pumpkin spice, holiday feasts, and cozy scarves – these are a few iconic sentiments that come to mind when thinking about the fall season. But what about marijuana? Can this be a new quintessential fall staple, too? Thankfully with the 7 activities below, it most definitely can be!

Enjoying marijuana is a year-round event, but what you may not know is just how fun and exhilarating it is to be high in Colorado during the fall season. As both a metropolitan and outdoor epicenter, Colorado is not short on fun things to do no matter the season. Add in the opportunity to be high with heightened senses and the fun only intensifies. Check out our favorite Colorado activities to do this fall, while high.

Every summer, Denver hosts a myriad of movies in the park for neighbors and visitors to enjoy. But as the weather cools, the outdoor appeal does as well.

So what’s a movie-loving toker to do now that it’s fall? Enter the classic pastime, drive-in theaters! Head on over to 88 Drive In Theatre, located in Commerce City, for nostalgic feels, modern flicks, and high times. Unlike many other drive-in theaters, 88 Drive-In Theatre promises to “… run in as far into the Fall as long as weather and attendance permit”. The weather is still accommodating (for now) so be sure to squeeze this event in this fall before it’s too late!

Being stoned is like opening the gateways to the land of creativity. Colors are brighter and more fluid. Thoughts are deeper and more complex. Conversations are funnier and seem to bear more meaning than usual.

Take advantage of this hyped-up creative streak and take in some local art. There are plenty of great exhibitions running this fall – all promising to take you on a visual and mind-bending trip.

Shows to check out:

Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design, 1980s-90s (Now-May 28, 2017)

Not for the light of heart and definitely not for those who get paranoid while stoned! But if you dare to enter a haunted house this fall, then this one is for you. Tickets are already available to Denver’s most popular haunts.

Modern-day haunted houses are highly sophisticated with more than just a few cardboard cut-outs and spooky pre-recorded tracks. The great ones in Denver include real actors that chase you, gag-inducing sulfur smells, and eerie lighting effects. Imagine experiencing all of these visceral effects while your senses are intensified! It’s a can’t-miss, fun, cannabis-induced activity you’ve got to try this fall.

Haunted Houses to check out:

One of the most telltale signs of fall is the change in leaves. Seemingly overnight, they turn vibrantly orange, red, yellow, and brown. It’s a beautiful sight to behold and when in Colorado, it’s even more magical thanks to our mountain-filled backdrop.

Roll a joint, pack a picnic, and head over to the Rocky Mountain National Park to fully enjoy all that a Colorado fall has to offer. There are over 300 miles of hiking trails, wildflowers, and autumn leaves to behold. While it’s open year-round, it’s definitely worth squeezing a trip in this fall before the leaves are covered in snow.

In case you haven’t already caught wind of this… Colorado is GORGEOUS – like breathtaking, heart-stopping, stunningly good-looking. And the best way to enjoy such beauty is to be in the heart of it. To do so, head over to Red Rocks Amphitheater on a pleasant fall day to take in a hike or simply check out the venue. The Red Rocks Trail at Red Rocks Park is a year-round, 6-mile loop, lasting approximately 3 hours. Take the dogs, pack a lunch, and pack a bowl as you enjoy the views and fresh air.
