SUMMIT COUNTY — Autumn seems to be the season for dramatic skies in the high country, and even though it’s technically still summer for a few days. it’s sure been feeling autumnal the past few days. Snow on the high peaks, the first tinges of color in the aspens … all the ingredients are in place for a spectacular transition season, and when the light is just right, it’s pure mountain magic.
