Museum-quality fine art prints from Colorado's most spectacular landscapes — Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Maroon Bells, Trail Ridge Road, and the blazing autumn aspen forests. Canvas, metal, acrylic, and framed.
Colorado delivers some of the most dramatic autumn color in North America, and Dan has photographed it extensively — hiking to remote locations to find aspen groves at peak gold, arriving before dawn at Maroon Bells to catch the reflection in the still lake, and driving Trail Ridge Road above 12,000 feet to photograph tundra landscapes that feel like another planet.
Rocky Mountain National Park alone has taken him back a dozen times. Bear Lake in peak autumn — with its mirror-still water reflecting walls of orange and red — is one of the most stunning natural spectacles in the American West. These are not drive-by shots. They represent hours of patient hiking, waiting for the light, and deep respect for these wild places.
"Colorado in peak autumn is one of those natural events that makes you understand why photography exists. The aspens turn in waves up the mountainsides — one canyon is green while the next is solid gold and red."

Where specifically were these Colorado photographs taken?
Dan has photographed extensively throughout Colorado — Rocky Mountain National Park (Bear Lake, Emerald Lake, Trail Ridge Road, Bear Lake Road), the Elk Mountains around Aspen (Maroon Bells), the San Juan Mountains (Chimney Peak and surrounding peaks), and Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs. He returns multiple times per year specifically to photograph peak autumn color, which typically runs mid-September through mid-October.
When is the best time to see Colorado's autumn colors?
Peak autumn color in Colorado typically occurs between mid-September and mid-October, varying by elevation. Higher elevations like Trail Ridge Road and the tundra areas turn first (early September), while Bear Lake and the valley aspen groves peak later in September. The Maroon Bells area near Aspen often peaks in late September. Dan times his trips specifically to chase this window, sometimes visiting multiple times in a single season.
