I guess it must be September!
Taken this morning (9/2/06) in the Sangres. The exception, to be sure, but can full-on fall colors be far away? No, I didn't think so either!

The Sangres aren't the only place... These colors were from the north side of Grand Mesa yesterday afternoon out the car window...as Todd mentioned, definitely still the exception, but signs of fall, nonetheless.

Ok, let 'em turn just don't let 'em fall. :wink:
I'll be out in two weeks.

There's a nice reddish stand on, I think Mt. Shavano just below treeline as of Saturday. Didn't take any shots - I was too busy taking pictures of the Aster that was still carpetting the Arkansas River valley.

The Peak-to-Peak / Golden Gate Canyon area is showing signs of impending masses of yellow; large stands are now showing leaves edged with yellow.

Wow guys (and Guy). Guy, where was your shot taken? I have been watching the mountains down here in UT county but have not seen much change yet (at least on the front side). I guess I need to go exploring!

Nathan, this is in the central Wasatch down by Scipio. Still, there's already some nice color around big and little cottonwood visible form the valley.
