Traveling Colorado in November
Will be heading home to MA from Moab the 1st of November, do I need to have a 2nd southern route planned in case of snow? As in Albuquerque instead of Denver?

Places to stay are another matter. Most campgrounds/RV Resorts will be closed in November, all over the state, with very few exceptions.
So I've been finding out. May get stuck with a few nights at WM's as we cross the country.
With more and more folks doing fall trips, would be nice if the forest service CG's stayed open longer. Most are closed before we leave RMNP in Sept.
True Dat! Would be nice if the USFS would try to keep them open at least in to October. There are many here in Larimer County that could very easily stay open; perhaps turn off the water and charge less. At higher elevation though, not really doable. Some of my favourites get snowed in pretty early in the season.
Regarding Aspen viewing, you're going to be in RMNP at the best time. Last September in Rocky was one of best colour seasons we've had in years. They were truly vibrant. And as Busskipper advised, if you get a chance, definitely try to do the Peak-to-Peak from Estes Park at least to Ward, and if you can, on to Nederland and Black Hawk/Central City. It's a great drive, you won't be disappointed.
