Photographer Ted Grussing captured this image of the San Francisco Peaks on 9 Oct. 2018. The winter's first snow mantles the peaks and the flaming gold quaking aspen trees blanket the middle slopes.
The Pleistocene San Francisco Mountain is a stratovolcano and the largest volcanic vent in the San Francisco volcanic field.
