A Pictorial of Colorado's Fall Color

By
Real Estate Agent with Real Estate Showcase Photography

 

                                           Orange Aspen

                                                                               Colorado Aspen

 

I took these photographs on a "AAA" - Altitude Attitude Adjustment" trip through Colorado's high country. We traveled from Woodland Park to Estes Park, Colorado, then through the Rocky Mountain National Forest, up over the Continental Divide, and down into Grand Lake. A visit to Cottonwood Lake the following day was gorgeous, as well.

Hi Richard,

Thanks much for taking a look. Yes, the fall is my favorite time of year, especially up here! I hope one day to see the fall color in New England, and it must be quite beautiful in PA this time of year, yes?

Debi,

The leaves haven't started to change much here yet. I will try and get some photos when they do.

Debi, Gorgeous pictures. For some reason we are still green here, we must be having an Indian summer.

Thanks Mitchell! It really was a breathtaking trip - lots of traffic up here these days, everyone coming up to the mountains to take it all in!

Lovely. We have been so warm here (Payson, AZ- 5,000 ft) that the leaves are barely starting. But we were at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon yesterday, and the aspens are gorgeous there.

And I sympathize about the beetles. We've lost a lot of trees around here, also.

Stunning, breathtaking...I vacationed in CO in February and would love to take a trip back in the fall to hike, camp...and enjoy these amazing views.

Leslie- Grand Canyon! Talk about views! Bet that was terrific. Yes, the beetle problem is serious. I was shocked at the loss in Grand County. It's not so bad here in Woodland Park, minimal. I feel awful for the folks over there, tho. Winter Park ski resort is in that area, and I wonder how this might begin to affect their business...

Allen- Glad you enjoyed the photos! Did you ski when you were out in February? That's pretty much the only reason to vacation here in February ;) If you ever come in the fall, be sure to plan a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Forest to see the elk. Absolutely incredible! I posted a blog with elk photos - take a look!  http://activerain.com/blogsview/716914/Chasing-Elk-in-Colorado

 Absolutely beautiful pics Debi, believe it or not they also remind me of drives I used to take in Vermont, a picture postcard kind of place! Have a great weekend!
