Enjoy this beautiful footage of near peak fall color in the San Juan mountains of Colorado. This footage was taken on September 30, 2024 in the Lake Fork drainage outside of Lake City, Colorado. The aspens were absolutely popping on this day, and it sure was exciting to get to see it near peak. Peak color only lasts for about a week or so before all the leaves fall and the trees are left barren, so getting to experience the fullness of the color change is truly a special thing. Fall color is one of the most fleeting experiences one can have in Colorado, so in case you never get to experience it in person for yourself, I hope this footage can fill you with the awe and wonder that it brings. So sit back, relax, put on some of your favorite music, grab a hot beverage and enjoy the serene views from deep inside the San Juan mountains; truly one of the most beautiful places on earth.
