Pictures of golden Aspen trees are plentiful but I think this one is especially appealing.

These mountains are the Maroon Bells and they're near Aspen.  This is supposed to be the most photographed view in the state.  The leaves appear to be at peak.

@Kachina624  Just gorgeous!  We haven't done the leaf drive yet...maybe this weekend..DW

Another beautiful photo today.  Do you know what the geology of the mountains is-what stone?  Is it granite?

[Kachina624]

@dancingwoman.  Better hurry, they're at or a little past peak, depending on the altitude.  A good wind or snow storm will finish them off.

@maximillian.  That's granite as pictured but there are other rocks and minerals in Colorado including marble, sandstone and basalt.   There are of course gold and silver and some gemstones including aquamarine, fluorite and turquoise.

Did you see the recent video of ‘big foot’ taken from a train in southwest Colorado? lol

It’s obviously a person in a ghillie suit out hunting or…the train company put him out there to bring in business.

@Malcontent.  Yes, I saw that and told myself, "what a fun thing to do".  Sounds like a prank from my youth.

It is so beautiful there especially this time of year!  Beautiful picture.

I have a stretched canvas Maroon Bells print hanging on my wall in an unusual winter with snow setting, don't see that image too often.
