From pumpkin patches to scenic trails, haunted mazes to warm cafes, Morgan County has everything you need to make the most of the fall season.
Pumpkin Patch & Harvest Fair at Pope Farms
Starting September 28 and running through October 27, Pope Farms is the ultimate fall destination with their Pumpkin Patch & Harvest Fair. Spread across 30 acres, the farm offers over 50 varieties of pumpkins, along with sunflowers, gourds, and plenty of fall décor to choose from. Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin or simply want to take in the autumn sights, Pope Farms is the place to be.
But that’s not all—bring the whole family for a day of agri-tainment! There’s fun for everyone, with activities like zip lines, giant slides, a bounce pillow, pumpkin cannons, and paintball. It’s the perfect fall getaway for both kids and adults alike.
Feeling adventurous? Don’t miss their Haunted Corn Maze on select Friday and Saturday nights in October. Test your nerves as you wind through the maze in the dark, and then wind down by the campfire with an adult beverage or a hot cocoa in hand.
Located just a short drive from Denver, Greeley, or Sterling, Pope Farms is an easy and fun fall day trip for the whole family.
