Aspens near Leadville

Aspens and a snowy ridge near Leadville, Colorado, in October 2023, on the day I climbed Mount Elbert, the high point of Colorado. It was mid morning, around 53, mostly clear, with a bit of a breeze.

Leadville sits high in a wide valley, and the aspens around town go gold in the fall. I took this on the same day as Elbert, with a little snow already on the ridge behind the trees.
