Colorado's Raggeds Wilderness—named for peaks like Marcellina Mountain—turns to gold in autumn. The wilderness covers nearly 65,000 acres (26,000 hectares) of the White River and Gunnison National Forests. It includes some of the world's largest stands of fast-growing aspen trees, which can gain 5 feet (1.5 meters) in a year.
科罗拉多崎岖不平的莽原区——被命名的各个山峰,比如玛塞丽娜山——秋天的时候就变成金色了。这个莽原区占了怀特河和甘尼森国家森林将近6万5千英亩(约2万6千公顷)的土地。这片莽原区包括了几块世界上最大的颤杨林地。这些颤杨树增长非常迅速,一年内可以长高5英尺(约1.5米)。
