Autumn Colors 2004

We have diverse forests, grasslands, and shrubscapes ANY time of year, but during our autumn season look for:

  • Red, yellow, and sometimes pink! vine maple;
  • Maroon huckleberry;
  • Yellow western larch, willow, aspen and cottonwood;
  • Bronze oaks; and
  • And a lot more – including the omnipresent evergreens.
