When you do a search on the internet for Colorado’s best drives for autumn colors, Kebler Pass will appear at or near the top on most lists. This year, the colors showed up in a multitude of shades. Gunnison National Forest was the obliging host.

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.
Lost Lake is near Crested Butte, Colorado and you kinda have to be lost to find it. It’s in the Gunnison National Forest and Kebler Pass. There’s a very nice campground there too.
