Autumn in the San Juan Mountains - Colorado
September 20-26, 2025
The San Juan Mountain range in Colorado is a favorite amongst my wife and me. We took a week to visit some areas we'd not seen before especially in autumn. While we were a bit early for "peak" for the aspens, the scenery was not lacking.

A long exposure was used to smooth out the water and clouds at Molas Lake for this view of Mount Garfield on the right, Graystone Peak in the middle, Electric Peak on the left, and the Needle Mountains on the far left.
