Greenhorn is ablaze with color right now.

The smaller, immature aspen that have emerged in the wake of the 2013 Beaver Creek Fire have turned color before the more mature bigger trees around the Wood River Valley.

And the landscape is a breathtaking swatch of yellows, oranges and reds.

Crews worked on a hefty new bridge on the Imperial reroute at Greenhorn earlier this week.

Hit them at the right time of the day and the right angle and you’ll find that some look like tiny flames jutting out across the hillside.

Those who walk or bike the Greenhorn trail will find that Titus Trails crews have put two new bridges in place for the new Imperial reroute. It’s anticipated that the project will finish up in mid to late October.

The bridge was complete by Friday.

It’s difficult not to gorge on the color right now.

Even areas that are less populated with trees have a special fall beauty.
