The Story Behind This Shot
A lone tree holding its last yellow leaves in thick fog along the Clear Creek Trail in Wheat Ridge, with the sun trying to burn through behind it. Everything past the trunk fades to nothing, which is the best thing about fog: it edits out the neighborhood for you.
A quiet, painterly vertical print with soft color and a lot of calm.
About Clear Creek Trail
One Tree, Plenty of Fog 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.
