Quick update here on the fall colors in Rocky Mountain National Park. 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.
