Decided to move from Swede Lake down 150ft to Bailey Lake for my last night. After I had camp set up, I wished I had made my move earlier...the camping was much nicer at the new location.

New Snowbasin Road winds it's way around to the ski resort as the aspen trees turn bright yellow for fall in the Ogden Valley.

Bucket list trip driving around the San Juan Mountains to see the Aspens glittering in the wind. Simply amazing trip. I wish the photos could really do it justice.
My coworker Ana and I spent nearly a week photographing the fall colors in Colorado. She was in town from Slovenia and decided to extend her trip while I tagged along. The first part of our trip was spent near Breckenridge.
A few years ago I had met Nick Selway who was living in Hawaii at the time and photographing the volcanoes and their hot lava. He moved to Brek to open a gallery so I reached out to him and he took us for a beautiful morning of photography. After photographing a colorful sunrise over some snow-capped peaks we set off to find more intimate scenes before the sun ruined everything.
One of the things I've learned from photographing with David Thompson is to always follow the light and make due with what's being given. Although the sun was up, it wasn't hitting all of the hillsides with direct light, so we spent about 2 hours searching for intimate scenes with the telephoto lens. We came around the bend and saw this group of Aspen trees starting to erupt in yellow and orange color. When I saw the one lone tree I screamed to Nick to pull over and grab our cameras. A fire had devastated the area a few years earlier and only a few trees survived but they popped with color before the sun bathed them in blinding light.

I'd always wanted to photograph the fall colors in Colorado and when my coworker, Ana, asked if I would join her, I quickly said yes and booked the trip. We met up with Nick Selway in Breckenridge, then drove to Crested Butte by way of Ohio Pass.
One of the most well known areas to photograph fall colors near Crested Butte is the "Kebler Pass" area. As soon as we turned onto highway 12 we could see why. The entire area was pathed in yellow and orange leaves (ok, some green as the peak-colors hadn't quite hit). We came to an S-curve with a gorgeous view of the entire valley and I immediately pulled over and grabbed the long lens.
We had taken so long driving up Ohio Pass that we were starting to rush for sunset. The sun was starting to set behind the Beckwith Mountains and I noticed how it was starting to light up a hillside of colorful trees. When it hit the tops of the trees it bathed them in a beautiful glow. I kept shooting for so long that Ana had to scream at me to get back in the car so we could find a spot to photograph sunset.

I love to walk in the midst of trees! Aspen trees are especially unique with their shimmery gold leaves and trunks with character. The markings are strikingly different on each tree and I find it fascinating to walk through them and observe their different personalities!

Fall is on the way to the Eastern Sierra!!
I always see colorful leaves that have already changed after coming down from backpacking in the high country as soon as Labor Day. This always seems early but the scraggly small shrub like aspen always turn quickly. The larger healthier trees next to water hold on much longer into the autumn season. You'll notice most Sierra in Autumn pics are mostly gold and orange. It's tough to go out and find a good mixed color palette in the Eastern Sierra. Keep that in mind keep that in mind during your search for color up here.
After enjoying a sunrise at Maroon Lake, we decided to continue up the valley further to Crater Lake which is located at the base of the Maroon Bells. The walk is about 1.5 miles with an elevation gain of just 500-700 feet, depending on the reference checked . . . but if I were asked then I would have said well over 1000 feet!! Many decades ago, in my physical education class, I vaguely recall the fact that at a higher elevation the oxygen becomes thinner, and more effort is demanded when climbing . . . that info was remembered to pass the test then promptly relegated to the irrelevant memory area of my brain. (please note: where I live - - elevation 1300 feet . . . . Crater Lake - - elevation 10,076 feet) I arrived at Crater Lake sweating while huffing and puffing as the younger generation of hikers passed by wondering to themselves if the old guy was going to make it carrying that 25-pound backpack and large tripod. It was then that that little light went on in my mind . . . what my instructor had said was true . . . elevation DOES make a difference!
Crater Lake was formed by a rockslide that dammed up the valley causing the lake to form. The dry summer had caused the lake level to drop and rather than a nice shoreline to compose the shot, there was a wide muddy bog to the edge of the water with no place to set up. Not to be deterred, I headed to the left scrambling over the usually submerged logs that had been deposited at the southern end of the lake by avalanches or spring runoffs. I finally found a spot with a foreground that might work. The fallen logs in the water were blocking the wind and providing calm waters for reflections. If you look beyond the logs, the water surface has very poor if any reflections. When I began setting up, I was completely alone . . . but when I turned around to leave there were quite a few people spread out behind me. I would like to think they were drawn by the great location I had chosen . . . more likely it was that they were there to see what was going to happen to the old tog walking on the fallen logs in the muddy bog.
These are the Maroon Bells; on the left with the cloud covered summit is South Maroon Peak (14,156 ft) and on the right is North Maroon Peak (14,014 ft). Further right is the eastern face of the Sleeping Sexton. Aspens in their golden autumnal colours can be seen on the slope to the far right. Underneath the water you can see more of the logs that I was dealing with.
In case you were concerned . . . the walk back down to Maroon Lake was a piece of cake!!

This is pretty much the opposite of yesterday's post. Winter scene driving across Swan Valley. I like the minimalist feel to this composition with just a tree, some brush and grass, and a fence against a sea of snow. Did you notice the hawk in the tree? Swan Valley, Idaho, USA, March 2025

The Rio Grande Railroad’s homage to Mother Nature was Aspen Gold single and 4 stripe for this reason, at its peak, the intensity is breathtaking. For those of us into trains; like no other place on Earth can this beauty be better explained than the valleys east of the Colorado Rocky Mountain continental divide at East Portal, Tolland, and Rollinsville. A westbound coal train in a precisely matched consist in perfect light slowly rolls past the meadows and Karel Park Lake in perfect reflection all in Fall grandeur. A tribute to the Rio Grande and its legacy that will forever echo in the valley.

After my hike yesterday, the sun came out and I found a grove of Aspens that looked good for some ultra wide angle shots.
This was one I came up with.
All the rain in Colorado is going to make for a good year for wildflowers and fall colors..
Hope you all have a great night!

If you saw "The Lego Movie", now you have the song "Everything is Awesome" stuck in your head for the rest of the day. You're welcome! If you didn't see the movie, google the song so you can have it stuck in your head for the rest of the day!
341/365: Lost Among the Trees – Colorado
To keep with the theme of ‘Lost Among the Trees’ here is the Colorado version featuring the beautiful Aspen. I shoot this perspective everywhere I go and this one turned out great with the blue sky contrasting the white Aspen.
