Jozef Bakos regularly hiked the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from his home in Santa Fe in search of subject matter, painting watercolor views such as this one en plein air. The leaves of the aspen trees turn a brilliant gold in the fall and were a draw for artists in New Mexico. Bakos added a cabin in the background as a reference to long history of wilderness settlement in New Mexico.
