Kebler Pass Colorado, a fabled route for those sometimes dismissed as “leaf Peepers”. By venturing into the forest called the largest single organism on the continent, I was able to find what I envisioned — huge aspens, straight and tall. It was a real treat to walk under them. Ethereal is an apt description yet a unique experience compared to giant redwoods. Light and colorful, as in Colorful Colorado. I can’t recommend driving the Kebler Pass road, especially during peak autumn color. Despite the (lightly) traveled classification, to me this description is only right if compared to I-15, but I’m biased. Before peak color, I still needed a trek into the woods as a respite from boiling dust and vehicle dodging. A discovery surrounded by silence proved beneficial. Aspens as a single organism blanket, Gunnison National Forest hillsides, and canyons, however, not every group of sprouts displays a unique thriving form.
