Today I drove up Red Mountain Pass (above Ouray, Colorado) to check out the golden aspens, and then ended up hiking up Red Mountain #3 to watch the sunset from up top.

Golden aspens flank the mountainsides along Red Mountain Pass above Ironton and Ouray. This is a stitched panorama from 4 photos. Photo © by Jack Brauer.

Evening light illuminates Silverton Mountain. On the far left side of the photo you can see the ski lift that cuts through the trees. Only a few more months until we'll be skiing and snowboarding down this mountain! Photo © by Jack Brauer.
