What could be more beautiful than trees wearing their autumn colors with the Tetons in the background? 

I hope you enjoyed this month's posts and that you agree with me that autumn in Wyoming is a season to delight anyone who enjoys natural beauty.

Don't you love the contrast of the red rocks with the varied colors of the foliage? I do.

This is what early fall looks like near Ayres Natural Bridge.

While many deciduous trees in Wyoming turn shades of gold and yellow each fall, some become vibrant reddish orange. 

This scene, which never fails to delight me, was taken in the Snowy Range, part of the Medicine Bow National Forest west of Laramie.

Now that it's officially autumn, I wanted to include a picture of Wyoming's autumnal landscape. 

Oranges, yellows, and reds as well as a few lingering green trees provide splashes of color and remind me of the variety of vegetation that covers the sagebrush prairie. It's a subtle beauty but one that fills my heart with joy.

When you think of brilliant red autumn foliage, Wyoming may not be first on your list of places to see it. But fall brings glorious colors to parts of Wyoming, including the Snowy Range.

Autumn brings brilliant colors to the Snowy Range. The aspen at lower elevations turn their signature gold, while the tundra becomes fiery red and rust. Cooler temperatures make hiking all the more appealing, as does the absence of crowds.

Have I convinced you to detour off I-80 to visit the Snowy Range the next time you're crossing Wyoming? I hope so, because it's a special place.
