Kim and I took some vacation time this week. Despite living 8 hours or less from the Rocky Mountains for most of my life, I’d never been out to see the quaking aspen in its full golden glory before now. Boy am I glad I fixed that. Here are a few photos from one of our hikes near Ouray, Colorado. More to come next week.

Wow, glad you made the trip! I don’t believe we have ever been to Colorado during the fall. How gorgeous!
your photos are stunning. i’ve been in that area and it’s a beautiful area, but i never took photos as good as yours! Wow!
Beautiful!
So beautiful – love the quaking aspens!
That’s no prairie, but a fascinating plant community in its own right. Luminous photos!
That’s one of the reasons us Coloradan’s love colorful Colorado!
