The Story Behind This Shot

The Abyss Lake Trail at peak fall color, where a shallow creek threads through frost-bitten willows and an entire hillside of aspens burns gold against dark spruce. Mount Blue Sky's flanks rise blue in the distance under a cloudless Colorado morning sky. This is the narrow two-week window when the Front Range high country turns, and the light arrives low and warm down the drainage.

A Colorado fall landscape print that brings autumn color and mountain quiet into a room year round.
