Colorado Fall Colors

Recommended Posts

My favorite place to photograph fall colors is in Colorado, especially the San Juan Mountains.  It had been a few years since 2022 when I was last in the mountains for the changing aspens.  I had ten days for this trip and spent the first four days beneath Capitol Peak waiting for fall and winter to mingle.  A storm on the third night made the fourth day memorable.  It was nice hearing the elk bugle in the mornings, despite not having a hunt permit.  Actually, I failed to draw any hunt permits this fall, so all shooting will be done with a camera.

Along the Last Dollar Road near Telluride is an area of aspens which grow in many intersecting angles, an area I call the "wacky forest".  I try to make photographic sense of it on each visit.

Morning sunlight crept over the mountain to illuminate the tree tops.
