SHOT 10/10/20 3:42:21 PM - Aspens changing colors up in Divide, Co. Aspens turn gold as the amount of sunlight slowly decreases every fall, switching off the mechanism in the leaves that creates chlorophyll. Aspen trees are all native to cold regions with cool summers, in the north of the northern hemisphere, extending south at high-altitude areas such as mountains or high plains.
