Temptation to shoot this scene was overwhelming. Wildflowers, fences and white puffy clouds are always a hit!

Colorado is famous for it’s two Aspens, the town and the tree. The tree is typically the most beautiful in the fall when the leaves turn a golden hue.
Just outside of Crested Butte on the opposite side of Kebler Pass grows an aspen grove of trees that goes on for miles. I found one section where the floor of the aspen forest was covered in soft beautiful ferns. It was a fairy tale setting while I tried to shoot the sunbeams through the trees.
Slate River Road is not for the weak of heart. It hugs the mountainside while providing a breathtaking view. The road allows for two-way traffic, but cooperation is a must. Two vehicles barely fit side-by-side, so one needs to crouch closely on the outer edge when traffic passes.
If that isn’t difficult enough, there are also rock slides and mountain streams that one must cross over.
The light reflects off the tree tops and the peak of a distant mountain. The day is done and now I am rewarded for simply being there. Elevation 11,250 feet above sea level. Rock on!
