Crystal Mill In Marble ColoradoThe remains of Crystal Mill are a great reminder of Colorado's mining history. The mill rises majestically over the Crystal River and provides a great photo opportunity during the wonderful Aspen fall colors. It is located on a very rough four-wheel-drive road and can be accessed through either Marble or Crested Butte. Plan on hiking at least a little as the drive is very dangerous and the sections after Lizard Lake get very narrow and windy as you progress towards the old ruins.

Old West Colorado Photography The Crystal MillA visually appealing picture of The Crystal Mill from our Colorado photography sessions. Harking back to days long gone and reminiscent of how it used to be, this old structure lingers. Set in the Colorado high country among the mountains and aspen filled forests, this log constructed building is mesmerizing. Perilously perched on a rock cliff, it once harnessed the power of the Crystal River flowing next door. Autumn in Colorado is stunning, and we make our way to this off grid location during our Fall Colors photo tour. Nearby is the ghost town of Crystal, and this mill is just one of the many remnants from the Old West.

Capital Peak Outside Aspen ColoradoOctober foliage and a clear sunset create the perfect foreground for the forbidding face of Capital Peak, near Aspen, Colorado.
Capital Peak is a Mecca for mountain climbers. Getting to the summit without technical equipment requires crossing the “Knife Edge,” a 150-foot ridge with sheer drops on both sides. We prefer to experience the peak from a safe distance!
