The Rocky Mountains are incredibly beautiful but are under siege from the Mountain Pine Beetle which is killing trees on the western slopes and the beetles continue to move eastward. The brownish trees are a result of this infestation. At first, the trees look like the color of leaves is changing until one realizes that they are really dying. It is a difficult sight to see.
