Fall colors have come early and quickly for the aspen groves on Red Mountain Pass, including this stand of trees near Crystal Reservoir pictured on Tuesday. Peak color is happening now in the San Juans, and the route along the San Juan Skyway – the 236-mile loop through Ridgway, Rico, Dolores, Cortez, Durango and back up through Silverton and Ouray – is a spectacular drive.
