About Jack Brauer
Definitely a time of year that I miss in Colorado. If only Austin had some sort of Autumn it would be more bearable. Time to get some snow on those peaks!
I know… I’d love some white on those peaks! Looks like it’s going to be a dry autumn here though.
I’m missing out! I can’t get over there for another week, do you think there will be any colors left, Jack?
Oh yeah. The aspens on Red Mtn. Pass usually turn a week or so before the other areas around here, in my experience.
See the RMNP forum FALL COLORS THREAD for updates on aspen colors around the state. I post there whenever I have more useful info.
I love all your work!! I live in the midwest but love Ouray and the San Juans..looking @ your pictures helps in between visits!
WOW! Things change sooo fast, eh? Nice use of the trees to break up that bluebird sky and paint it with gold!
Crazy colors, very warm and soft. Great work
Thanks Deb and Dave and Nicolas!
jack: love the photos/colors. hope to get out to see Mike and Cecily in Oct. Maybe some color will still be around.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post these wonderful fall images
I can almost hear the cars buzzing by on HWY 550 in picture four
Your work is inspiring for us want-to-be photographers
and has acted as a great local hiking guide
By the way I am certain you could publish a great photo hiking
guide of our area with your extensive trail time, what a mountain goat you are Jack.
BTW you have really done a great job with your new design/gallery

Thanks John! Yes, I’ve often thought that it would be a fun project to make a “coffee table” guidebook with photos and descriptions of my favorite hikes and treks in the San Juans. But on the other hand, I have reservations about guidebooks in general… I kind of like it how many of the best hikes aren’t publicized!
