I often find more beauty in the grasslands around the state even more so than the famous Rocky Mountains. The Rabbitbrush blooms from Aug. - Oct. and is one of my favorite plants. This was taken at San Luis State Park near the Great Sand Dunes here in Colorado. You can actually see the tallest sand dunes(~750ft) in N. America if you look just above the edge of the lake (its that dark tan color). Thanks for taking a look
