As you can see, I came to Coller State Wildlife Area for these photos while the trees were in their full fall glory. The site is beautiful with good camping spots nearby and lots of easy access to the Gold Medal Waters of the Rio Grande. This is prime fly fishing - trout country. There's lots of private property around but the wildlife area access is well signed.
