The quaking aspen is the glory of autumn. It is most abundant in the American West, where it grows the tallest and the autumn splendor of its leaves is most brilliant. Glowing in all shades of gold, the leaves flutter incessantly in the wind because of their uniquely flattened stems. In addition to its leaves, which were once used as a medicinal cure, its bark, contains analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its true beauty is against the background of evergreens, spruces, and pines where the golden flames of the aspen light the surrounding hills.
