Yellow and gold are the colors of fall in Idaho which, like Colorado, boasts some of the most beautiful stands of aspens in the northwestern United States. In addition to aspens, cottonwoods make quite a show in fall dressed in deeper yellows, along with shrubs that provide a splash of red, orange, and gold seen any scenic byway throughout the state.
