Colorado Quaking Aspens in Fall

From Jim Zornes: "You really don’t get to going very fast – up and back takes 2 1/2 hours but the tracks are a long ways away from the highway and you see things in a different light. Of course the aspens are peak now so the pictures are even better in person."

More on Quaking Aspen: Quaking Aspen is described as an all important and community dependant "keystone species" within its natural range. Quaking Aspen is the most visible of western North American hardwoods providing understory biodiversity, wildlife habitat, livestock forage, specialty forest products, and highly desirable scenery.
