Colorado has some of the most beautiful vistas in the country, especially in the Autumn when the Aspens leaves transform themselves into a shimmering gold blanket that coats the mountains. Some years are better than others, but rarely do they disappoint. If in Colorado Springs, it’s but a short drive into some great areas that yield fantastic results. Woodland Park isn’t too far away and Upper Gold Camp Road will never lead you astray. Mueller Park is just over an hour away and it too has some great Aspens groves.
A few years back, the family and I took a drive into the Rocky Mountains and came across some great scenes. I took these with my older Canon Rebels XTi, but even still, they turned out pretty good. If I remember right, this was somewhere along Gold Camp Road about 45 minutes from Manitou Springs, CO.
This too was taken along the same road, but a little later in the day on our way back. The storm clouds were starting to build, which was a bit rare this late in the year, but it was a warm day.
