Colorado Fall – Sep 2026 – Part 4

More fall photography in the Rio Grande National Forest of Southern Colorado.

Visitors’ Log

While there is not an official sign in place for visitors to a National Forest, people have a way of creating their own on the trunks of trees. It is common to find many such as that in this photo along side forest roadways.

Monochrome Aspen Trunks

I think Aspens may be the most photogenic of all forest trees. Even their bare trunks are attractive.

Monochrome Forest

And even monochrome images in a colorful Aspen forest can be appealing.

Mountains in the Mist

I parked a little below Stunner Pass, walked back up the roadway to shoot a few scenic views from the roadway.

Aspens on a Rocky Mountainside

This talus slope is no obstacle for Aspens.

Tall Trees and Misty Mountains
Fall Aspens
Colorado Fall Layers
The Junction

‘The Junction’ refers to the intersecting roads at the bottom of this photo, but I suppose that description can be extended to the mountains in the background, too.

More Colorado fall photos to come,
