The Window is Approaching.

If you love Nederland and you haven’t been getting up there lately, the prime time will soon be upon us. I can’t believe I’m saying this, since I feel like last week it was rainy spring, but fall is on the way. And that magical few weeks where the trails in Nederland are flanked with the glitter of changing aspen are not long away.

At first glance, this past weekend, most everything looked normal.

The new path over the mine tailings remains…

But now there’s a wacky sign near it:

I’m not even sure I know what “meroury” is, even after Googling it. And maybe ignorance is bliss.

But there are tiny hints of yellow in the aspen groves, just a leaf or two, here or there, ready to succumb to the nip of fall. And the mountain weather keeps us guessing.

So over the next few weekends, plan a trip up there. The trees will probably be in full display somewhere near the end of the month.

After that, they will be delicate skeletons, bending under the pressure of the chilly Nederland breeze.
