A drive over Kebler Pass can offer an array of scenic views that vary throughout the months.
In mid-summer, the well-graded dirt road passes through an area where the forest floor is covered in vigorous and tall ferns that grow amid the aspens. A scene like this just invites one to get out of the car and take a stroll through the cool light.
Sunlight coming in from above is filtered by the aspens, but still enough reaches the ground to support this lush growth of ferns. The filtered sunlight, the coolness of the grove, the lush vegetation and a trail leading through the ferns beckons one to explore or just find a fallen tree or log to rest upon and listen to the quaking of the aspen leaves high up where the breeze still reaches and birds sing their sweet summer songs.
