Fence and Aspen trees in autumn colors with snow-capped mountains in background, Ridgway, Colorado, USA
The San Juan Mountains are a high and rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining has ended in the region. The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests cover a large portion of the San Juan Mountains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the essence of autumn in Ridgway, Colorado. The vibrant colors of the aspen trees in their golden hues create a stunning contrast against the snow-capped mountains that loom majestically in the background. The scene is further enhanced by a rustic fence that meanders through this picturesque landscape. Ridgway lies within the San Juan Mountains, a rugged range known for its natural beauty and rich mining history. Once an integral part of Colorado's gold and silver mining industry, this region played host to several old mining camps turned major towns such as Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. While large-scale mining has ceased here now, remnants of its past can still be seen scattered across these mountains. The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests encompass vast stretches of this mountainous terrain, preserving its pristine wilderness for generations to come. This protected area not only showcases remarkable landscapes like the one captured in this photograph but also harbors significant mineral deposits along what is known as the Colorado Mineral Belt. Danita Delimont's lens skillfully encapsulates all these elements into one captivating image - nature's artistry at its finest. Whether you are an admirer of scenic wonders or someone fascinated by historical legacies etched into landscapes, this print will transport you to Ridgway's enchanting realm where autumnal splendor meets rugged grandeur.
