A golden autumn morning in the San Juan Mountains feels like stepping into a quiet hymn. Mount Sneffels catches the first glow of sunrise as aspens blaze below in peak fall color. Every ridge, every leaf holding light like a whispered promise of the day ahead.

Late autumn in the mountains of southern New Mexico.
Most aspen have dropped their leaves, but a few still hang onto golden glory.
Last night the high terrain of the mountains scraped some frozen precipitation out of passing clouds in the form of graupel (spongy hail). (There was absolutely no forecast for precipitation last night, but the mountains had other plans.)

#Aspen trees are unique primarily because what appears to be individual trees in a grove is actually a single organism connected by an extensive underground root system.
Each tree in a stand is genetically identical, forming what is called a clone.
These root systems can be extremely old, with some clones like the "Pando" in Utah estimated to be over 80,000 years old, making them one of the oldest and largest living organisms on Earth.
