A peak somewhere along the ridge between Hayden Peak and Castle Peak, near the ghost town of Ashcroft, Colorado.
The trees were so thick in Dixie Forest and occasionally I would see deer running as we drove by them.
HDR of Telluride Valley, taken at the peak of the fall season. Amazing aspens and mountain colors, although I did take some liberty to move this fantastic cloud down a bit.

Rocky Mountain Aspens
Simple shot of Aspens taken at Beaver Meadows in Rocky Mountains National Park.
I was there past peak, but still got to see some amazing color. And i don't think i've ever seen a more blue sky than i did while out there in Colorado..
Interesting thing (interesting to me, and something i didn't know), Is that all these are not individual trees, but a colony stemming from a single seedling (basically, the trees are like branches coming up from the ground). Was told about this while on the Jeep tour through mountains behind Ouray..
Heres some more info;

All of the aspens typically grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling, and spread by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 m (98–130 ft) from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason, it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands. One such colony in Utah, given the nickname of "Pando", is estimated to be 80,000 years old,[2] making it possibly the oldest living colony of aspens. Some aspen colonies become very large with time, spreading about 1 m (3.3 ft) per year, eventually covering many hectares. They are able to survive forest fires, because the roots are below the heat of the fire, with new sprouts growing after the fire burns out.

A steady afternoon breeze blows through this group of aspen trees near Jackson Lake Lodge. The tree on the right seems to be a favorite for past rubbings, probably by Bison. Grand Teton National Forest, USA, July 2014

Saturday I woke up and looked out the window and these two were perched on an aspen tree in the yard.
