Need recommendations for November trip, Crystal digging locations in areas easily reached this time of year Options

[Proudtex76]

I'm heading up to Colorado from Houston to visit family for 12 days starting November 15th leaving on the 27th and want to get in a little collecting while I'm there. I'd really appreciate any input you guys have on where I might have some luck. Would love to find quartz, calcite or flourite but have fun hunting it all. Thanks in advance yall.

There are definitely a few good spots that are in lower elevations. Some of the rockhounding guides mention areas for fossils, calcite, barite and a few locations for the pegmatite crystals. I will be flying back from south Carolina on November 24. If I'm not too pooped from the trip I may try to get out that weekend. Where will you he staying?
