RMNP - Beaver Meadows Longs Peak in Autumn
RMNP - Beaver Meadows There is perhaps no more iconic scene than Longs Peak covered in a fresh coat of snow with golden aspen standing below with Colorado blue skies above. If only every day could be this perfect.
RMNP - Beaver Meadows Why do you celebrate aspen? Soon the cold winds will buffet you for months on end, deep snow will cover you in an icy blanket. You will stand here naked and unnoticed without your glorious leaves, spending the coming months in hunger. Yet here you joyfully stand facing all this dressed in vibrant yellow as if you were at a great celebration. Your every movement speaks of joy in the face of tragedy. Dear aspen please tell me your secret.
