These cirque lakes — still, cold, and startlingly blue — are scattered through the high country of the Rocky Mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"318\"\u003eThis piece was inspired from a recent backpacking trip through that high country near Creede, Colorado, arriving at one of these alpine tarns just as the aspens along its banks had turned gold. Beneath the surface swam native cutthroat trout — the Rockies' original fish, long crowded out in many drainages by introduced rainbow and brook trout. In recent years, the Forest Service and its partners have worked to reverse that, removing the non-native fish from select high-alpine waters and reintroducing cutthroat to their ancestral lakes — a quiet act of restoration playing out in some of the wildest, least-visited water in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"961\"\u003e\u003cem data-renderer-mark=\"true\"\u003eAutumn's Tarn\u003c\/em\u003e holds both of those things at once: the turning season above the surface, and the slow return of something native beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Created:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePainting Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e20x20 inches.
