2007 Fall Color Thread

[DaJudge]

Today Channel 7 showed photos from this weekend of some aspens changing on Boreas Pass. Anyone seen any other good color yet? Tell us where and post up some pics.

SWMBO and I are going to Aspen, Redstone, and Snowmass next week. I hope to get some stuff to post from that trip!

Going up to crested butte all of the aspens are changing, I'll try to get some pictures soon.

Here is last year's thread (http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=72549)on the topic. Also, Channel 7's (Mike Nelson's) favorite color drives (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/discovercolorado/4955659/detail.html#).

We were up at Maroon Bells Labor Day Weekend and saw some Aspens starting to change. I would bet they're be a lot more by next weekend.

the trees along South Turkey Creek, off Hwy 285 past Tiny Town, caught my eye today cause of the color change.

Aspens were turning colors on HC last weekend. :thumbsup:

I didn't take any pics. :shrug:

Any suggestions for something close, is Argentine Pass good ?

[jimfoo]

I'm going down by Blanca. I have property down there, and the entire mountainside is aspen. I was down there once when they were in full color and it was awesome.

While a lot of them are short, there are a lot of aspen down by Metberry. Argentine is probably good too as Guanilla has quite a few aspens.

We didn't take the camera, but there was a lot of color up top yesterday.

Great pics of Maroon Bells :cool:

[ijeepdou]

All these awesome photos! I am jealous! I saw Alec's great photos yesterday so I keep coming back to see what's been added. It's like a photo contest ... with lots of winners.

Thanks to all who posted. Now I get to take a fall color tour without leaving my desk. Think of the gas $ I save ... hope my boss is happy!

We went over Boreas Pass on the 29th and it was a week too late I'd say.
