Camping and hiking in the remote Southern Colorado Rocky Mountains is a thrill. The San Juan Mountains around Pagosa Springs deliver a wide range of outdoors experiences. There you'll find snow-capped peaks over 14,000 feet looming over pine covered ridges and slopes bedecked with white aspen trees with leaves that shimmer like confetti in the lightest breeze. Waterfalls, rocky rivers and gentle streams can also be found in abundcance, along with elk, deer, songbirds, butterflies, and wildflowers, including the stunningly beautiful  columbine flower. The one feature it takes a little time to get used to is the overabundance of dead trees. In some cases, it appears as if 90 percent of the pines and spruces are standing gray on the mountainsides. The trees were killed by insect infestations and it's not yet certain that the forests will fully recover. We certainly hope they do. In the meantime, the region is certainly worth visiting for the beautiful scenery, challenging hikes and friendly, laid back locals. Thank you to San Juan National Forest, Colorado and Pagosa Springs for a memorable vacation. Larry Richardson created this 4K video for RichardsonArtPhotographyStore.com and StepByStepChef.com using a Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder. The video was edited on an Apple Mac Book Pro using Final Cut Pro X software.
