A grove of aspen trees just beginning to show off brilliant fall colors in late September 2019. Even during the middle of the day, this was an easy picture to take; just walked into the forest, pointed the camera skyward, and click! This picture was taken after hiking the Three Lakes Trail off of Gunnison County Route 12 between Paonia and Crested Butte, CO, the road which summits Kebler Pass (well known for its spectacular autumn shows). My family and I were a bit early, as fall colors in 2019 were a bit delayed, and were still spotty on September 24th in this region. As can be seen below, many trees were more of an off-green than gold. This was particularly true of the groves lining the West Elk Mountains to the north of CR 12.
