It’s such a beautiful country. We are spoiled rotten on the west side of the country for sure

Love the contrast between the trees and the mountain 😄

Pretty apt description honestly. The perfect entry point to the Northern San Juan’s.

Yes sir!! It was a special sight. It was a nice and moody late afternoon with clouds a plenty. The perfect landscape shooting conditions IMO

No I just drove my little Subaru crosstrek right up there!

Oh shoot for some reason I thought this was Wheeler Geological Area. Thought the trees seemed more dense than I remember but it was a long ass hike in. There are “roads” that go up but they didn’t look ideal for a vehicle. I’ll have to put Ridgeway on next years list.

I would highly recommend leaf peeping there. It's a photographer's heaven during the last week of September/first week of October.

I consider myself very lucky that I got to live in Colorado for two years. Such an awesome place. And I don’t mean “awesome” like how we usually mean it, I mean awesome as in, pull over on the side of the road and gawk in silence at the mountains, colors, beauty.

Protip: the stretch between Ridgway and Durango (through Ouray and Silverton) is the prettiest part of Colorado.

I’ve been there & it’s beautiful. It also looks like how Mordor is portrayed in film.

100% agree

Omg, this is amazing! Was this recent? Are the leaves still like this? Might make the 4 hour drive if it's still a few days ago.
Your photo is epic, too, man. Nice shot.
tommydarko12 OP t1_ispujns wrote
It was about a week and a half ago. My guess is that the leaves are a bit past their peak, but I’m not sure 🤷🏻♂️

Thanks 😊
