It’s just south of the ski resort town of Telluride but in October it was full of snow and autumn colors.

It’s between the neat little town of Ridgway and ski town Telluride. You take Last Dollar Road which travels through some amazing cattle ranches and provides unobstructed views of the San Juan Mountain Range. Fresh snow added to the experience.

This wide panorama was produced by stitching 3 separate images in Photoshop. It ended up being 52 inches wide at 300 DPI. The file size was just over 1 Gigabyte. A framed print will probably take up a whole wall!

This is the spot I would like to build a house!

Colorado’s Amazing Kebler Pass

Colorado, In The Country, Seasons

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.
