Color Season, Colorado-Style

Fall is beautiful but monochromatic in Colorado: the aspens turn gold. Period. Maples and other hardwoods, the autumn showstoppers of the Midwest, are rare.

However, while hiking at Meyer Ranch Park last week, we glanced at the grasslands bordering the trailhead and realized that all the colors we associate with fall were right in front of us. They just happened to be at ground level. (Click on the picture for the full effect.)
