Although it may be better known as a winter wonderland, this tiny mountain town of around 650 people is the perfect place for leaf peeping.
Sitting at an elevation of 3,200 feet, this small town is the highest incorporated town in the state. It’s no surprise that Davis is a popular skiing destination in colder months.
