The Story Behind This Shot
Clear Creek bending through Wheat Ridge on a foggy fall morning, golden willows leaning over the right bank and a cobble bar on the left. A five-second exposure smooths the current into soft swirls, and the fog reduces the far trees to outlines. The Clear Creek Trail runs right alongside, so this is about as easy as fall color gets.
A soft, moody creek print with warm color and a lot of atmosphere.
About Clear Creek Trail
Fog on Clear Creek was taken at Clear Creek Trail, Wheat Ridge, Colorado. A creekside path from the Denver plains to the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon, now pushing into the canyon itself.
- Distance: About 24 mi (Golden to Platte River Trail)
- Surface: Mostly paved; some crushed stone and gravel
- Difficulty: Easy, gently graded
Best light: In the canyon, the walls block direct sun early and late, giving you long periods of soft open shade that suit moving water.
