Image shows a sunset sky dotted and smeared with light, puffy clouds above three prominent mountain peaks. The three peaks are dusted with snow. The terrain of the peaks allows the snow to settle into nearly horizontal striations on the north sides of the peaks, as well as into a valley leading down from the peaks. The valley below the peaks is lush with conifer trees on the left and Aspen trees on the right. Most of the Aspens are gold with Autumn color. At the bottom of the valley between the two sides is a small pond, which provides a reflection of the Aspens. The clouds in the sky and the entire scene is imbued with pink and golden tones due to sunset.

In the foreground, the image shows a group of tall Aspen trees adjacent to a wooden post and rail fence. Beyond the fence is a horse pasture, still vibrantly green, but with a few yellowing areas showing hints of Fall. On the other side of the pasture is a large grove of hundreds of Aspen trees as the base of a small, rounded mountain. As the elevation of the terrain increases up the mountainside, the Aspen trees give way to hardier conifer trees. The mountain is covered in lush dark green from the conifer trees. Above the scene on the left is the sun, still bright in the late afternoon, but on its way to sunset. Its light shines between the Aspen tree trunks in the foreground, creating a starburst pattern around the sun itself and casting a few sunspots on the camera's lens.

Image shows a lake in the foreground. The lake water is so clear and still, the rocks underneath are visible through the water. The still water leads to an opposite shore that holds a sweeping vista of Aspen and conifer trees. The Aspen trees are vibrant yellow, gold, and in a few small places, orange. The conifer trees are dark green and lush. Beyond the trees, mountains rise above it all. The highest mountains have a light dusting of snow at their tops.
