A gorgeous sunrise unfolds over Longs Peak and Bear Lake. The Aspen trees above Bear Lake are looking just about as good as can be right now. I photographed this view on Sunday morning. The Bear Lake area of Rocky Mountain National Park is at peak right now. There is plenty of good color to be found but I would expect this view and these trees to start dropping leaves this week.

At this point in time, the fall color appears to be peaking about a week early or so. The Bear Lake area is at peak, and if you want to photograph the colors around Bear Lake, now would be the time to do so.
Bierstadt Moraine still has a week or so to go and many of the lower areas of the park around Beaver Meadows and Moraine Park are still a good two weeks from peaking. All in all there are plenty of opportunities for fall color photography right now with the higher locations nearing peak.
