Kebler Pass, located just west of Crested Butte, is home to one of the largest aspen tree groves in the United States. This forest has been tested and found to be a clonal colony. It grows from a single root system and is a single living organism. Wow! It is the largest living entity in the state of Colorado and one of the largest in the world.
Following are the colorful autumn images to prove it which I captured just over a week ago.
As you can see, the colors were a mix of yellows, golds, magentas, oranges and waning greens.
Recent snows added some contrast to the autumn palette.
So many beautiful photos, well done! I had no idea that trees can grow like this, amazing!
Thanks John. It is an amazing phenomenon of nature

Stunning landscapes, Mike!
Thanks Eliza!
So beautiful, a real treat for us to view!
That day was one of my most memorable days not only in photography but in just plain enjoying nature!
Wow, just wow….
That’s what I kept saying after I drove around another bend
the clarity of rock formations in your captures are a joy to behold – contrast that with your ICMs and I have to use that overused term “wow”
Thanks Laura. I really appreciate your comment!
