September 25, 2014 Poudre Canyon, Colorado

They are saying this week is peak for the aspens fall colors, so we headed up the canyon to see them.

Aspens on the hillside. John and Mandy having lunch at the Aspen Glen camping area. Mandy drove and we gawked.

Aspen Glen is appropriately named.

Me in a grove at Aspen Glen. These orange aspens are on the ridge above Aspen Glen.

Farther up the road was another whole hillside aspen grove. This next stand is on the Laramie river road.

We laid down on our backs and looked up at the bluebird sky behind the golden aspens. When the wind blows the aspens quake-the leaves tremble and golden leaves rain down on you.

Aspens over the Laramie River. Hare bells, a moth on a sunflower(in our yard), golden ferns up the river.

Red aspen leaf, asters, strawberry flower-kind of out of season, moose track, we are Amidst the Wilderness here, yellow flowers, and a barbwire moose at the Moose visitors center over Cameron Pass. It is a good place to see moose, but we didn’t see any today.
