Colorado has its own wonder of the world, and it doesn't charge admission. Every autumn, people travel from across the country just to stand beneath the Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides), the tree that blankets subalpine slopes from 6,500 to 11,500 feet and has become one of the state's most famous residents.
