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.

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”
