SHOT 10/2/17 1:52:45 PM - An early season snow storm blankets the limbs of aspen trees and stands in sharp contrast to the fall colors coming to a peak near Rabbit Ears Pass in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Includes images of aspen trees changing color in the Steamboat Springs area. Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to cooler areas of North America, one of several species referred to by the common name aspen. It is commonly called quaking aspen,trembling aspen or American aspen. The trees have tall trunks, up to 25 meters (82 feet) tall, with smooth pale bark, scarred with black. The glossy green leaves, dull beneath, become golden to yellow, rarely red, in autumn. The species often propagates through its roots to form large groves originating from a shared system of rhizomes.(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2017)
