Not that you would recognize. The Rocky Mountain Maple is in the family but it's a shrub. Box elder technically is a maple but it has compound leaves. There are very few native hardwoods. Cottonwood (poplar), aspen, a few paper birch in the northwest. Alders and peachleaf willows tend to be more shrubby than trees. I miss the hardwoods this time of year. The larch are a deciduous conifer and turn a golden color and the cottonwods are also yellow. I like walking around the city where the non-natives have more color and the experience of walking through fragrant fallen leaves.
