BEST COLORADO PUMPKIN PATCHES AND CORN MAZES

By Kyrie Collins, Highlands Ranch-Parker-Castle Rock Publisher October 22, 2014
Get lost in a corn maze! Don't forget to wear sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, and plenty of layers so you can adjust to the ever-changing fall weather. Also, it is easier to find your way through a corn maze as the season progresses, since a path becomes more clearly tramped down by others. Pick your own pumpkin then take it home for painting or carving. Our Halloween Pinterest Board has some crazy cool ideas for pumpkin decorating and more!
