Colorado Fall Colors

Colorado’s fall colors have come somewhat later than usual this year (in most places). But it was well worth the wait! I took a 3-day weekend and photographed the following locations:

  • Cottonwood Lake area (photo below), near Buena Vista, CO
  • Independence Pass
  • Castle Creek drainage and Ashcroft
  • Capitol Peak overlook
  • The famous Maroon Bells

The colors were fantastic this year – better than I’ve seen in a number of years – especially the undergrowth and tundra. And although the weather did not cooperate during the sunrise and sunset hours (either too cloudy, or no clouds at all), I had a wonderful time in the mountains. And I managed to come away with some decent images. I’ll post more photos over the next few weeks.
