Getting your player ready...
Autumn is in full swing in Colorado’s High Country from Rocky Mountain National Park to Aspen. Colors are starting to turn along the Front Range.
As you capture images of great fall color, share you photos with The Denver Post. You can submit your images to / and they might appear in an online slide show of Denver Post reader submitted photos.
The U.S. Forest Service reports that, if weather cooperates to keep the leaves on the trees, there could be good color into the second week of October, or even later.
Meteorologists at 9News explain that as days grow shorter and nights grow longer, biochemical processes in leaves cause them to lose their green tint and turn red, orange, gold and brown. Temperature has little to do with the process.
