Fall has begun to peak in parts of Colorado, with aspens everywhere beginning to glow gold. It’s one of the latest years in the last 20 thanks to a wet and warm fall, but the colors are finally starting to show and they are looking to be as spectacular as always. This morning a few days ago I was woken before sunrise by some bugling elk near my tent, and took a walk along an aspen lined forest road to get to this viewpoint that overlooks the area near Twin Lakes. The smallest bit of snow remained on Mt Hope from the storms of the day before, but it was Mt Rinker with it’s aspen coated slopes that really made this spot stand out to me. Much more to come from Colorado, the fall is only beginning!
