Description
There's gold in them thar hills. In fact, this spectacular alpine setting just south of Telluride is full of old gold and silver mines, and the historic mining ghost town of Alta is just down the road. The watery gem pictured here completes the mining motif. But the beautiful golds and yellows we see at the peak of fall color - when this image was captured - are nowhere to be found. For that kind of gold, you have to go lower in elevation.
