Shades of green, orange, and yellow begin to seize the northeast side of the San Francisco Peaks, as seen from Forest Road 151. Ponderosa pine ("Pinus ponderosa") are in the foreground with quaking aspen ("Populus tremuloides") on the mountainside. This road is part of the Around the Peaks Loop scenic drive.
