We (the D&SNG) always plan our Fall Photo Trains around what we hope to be peak color season in the San Juan Mountains. We've got a fantastic line-up of 4 trains over 2 weekends this year as well as 5 nights of special night photography directed by Michael Ripley and Pete Lerro. See all the information at [

The aspens, oaks, and pines against the Colorado blue skies make a wonderful palette of colors! (I've requested a few white puffy clouds in those blue skies too. I hope somebody's listening!)
If you don't ride the trains, Hwy 550 Durango to Ouray is beautiful and continuing on over Dallas Divide towards Telluride and Rico and Dolores and the Mancos Valley is one heck of a loop to enjoy the colors!
