  • Hanging Lake, along East Fork Dead Horse Creek in Glenwood Canyon, White River National Forest, Colorado, USA. From the trailhead 7 miles east of Glenwood Springs along Interstate 70, follow the Glenwood Canyon Bike and Pedestrian Path east then ascend Dead Horse Creek (a tributary of the Colorado River), for 4 miles round trip gaining 1200 feet, including the nice side trip to Spouting Rock falls. Dissolved carbonate minerals color its water turquoise. The fragile shoreline is travertine, created when dissolved limestone from the Mississippian Period Leadville Formation is deposited in layers on rocks and logs. The shallow bed of Hanging Lake formed on a fault line where the valley floor above sheared and dropped.

  • Sun patterns penetrate a log building. Ashcroft ghost town was a short-lived 1880s silver mining settlement, ten miles south of Aspen, in White River National Forest, Colorado, USA. Shallow silver deposits, high transportation costs, and competition from richer lower-elevation mines in Aspen caused Ashcroft's 1880 mining boom to go bust by 1883. The silver market crash of 1893 ultimately destroyed the town's prospects. Its peak population of 2000+ plummeted to 100 by 1895. Today more people visit Ashcroft each summer than ever lived here. Founded at 9500 feet elevation, Ashcroft was originally called Castle Forks City, then Chloride until 1882. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.

  • Historic late-1800s log cabin. Independence has been a ghost town since about 1899, when trains came into Aspen and the gold played out. Supposedly founded on Independence Day July 4, 1879 when gold was discovered, Independence was the first community in the Roaring Fork River Valley, a tributary of the Colorado River. Independence lies in a harsh environment at 10,830 feet elevation, 13.5 miles east of Aspen on Highway 82, and four miles west of Independence Pass on the Continental Divide, in Pitkin County, Colorado, USA. The remaining buildings are on land near the river owned by the Loughren Trust, and the upper site is in White River National Forest. In its short life, few could agree on a name for Independence, which was also known as Farwell, Chipeta City, Sparkill, Mammoth Mountain, Mount Hope, and Hunter's Pass.

  • Roxborough State Park features strikingly tilted red sandstone formations in Colorado, USA. We hike up the pleasant Carpenter Peak Trail and back via Elk Valley loop and Fountain Overlook, 8.5 miles with 1600 feet gain. A shorter walk is to the Peak then directly back (6.2 miles and 1400 ft). Roxborough State Park is in Douglas County 25 miles south of Denver, Colorado, USA. Honored as a National Natural Landmark, Roxborough State Park features the spectacularly tilted sandstone of the Fountain Formation, laid down over 300 million years ago with the gradual erosion of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains. After millions of years of uplift and erosion, these red sandstones stand dramatically at a sixty degree angle. Also exposed is geology from the Precambrian to Late Mesozoic, including hogbacks of Cretaceous, Permian, and Pennsylvanian age. Erosion of steeply dipping monoclinal sedimentary sections has resulted in the series of three major hogbacks and strike valleys, exposing scenic dipping plates, spires and monoliths. Precambrian gneiss and biotite-muscovite granite are exposed on Carpenter Peak. The park is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District, due to archaeological sites.
