Fall Aspens in Silverton

Mineral Creek flows into the Animas River just east of town. This is a view across the creek to the ruins of of an old mill.

Fall in Colorado

Here the Aspens have really changed the past few days. Down at lower elevations below 9,000 feet there is still a lot of green. A few miles east of camp there is an entire hillside that not only has turned entirely gold but these Aspen have started to drop their leaves. This morning I went there early and there was still a lot of frost on the ground. It was like walking on a new golden carpet. These photos are all from this grove.
