Colorful Colorado 2008

[DaveT]

As I think you have been gathering from some of the recent posts, it has just been a magnificent Fall here in Colorado -- temperatures, weather, and the Aspen have been magnificent, with more orange colors than I have seen in the past. Plus, the show has been going on now for several weeks due to the snow from last Winter and the fact that we have not yet had a hard freeze (that will probably change this coming weekend). The show will end soon, but it has been magnificent. Also enough to make one think about Gold Leaves in the Rockies and Gold Wings, ie Rockies-Gold. Perhaps late September 2010, but who knows if any of us will be able to afford to do anything in the future. I've had a great year, but the reduction in fun is here. I think that most of us will be tightening the belts big-time for a while.

[SIZE=12pt]I finally got my photos from that day edited and added to my gallery. Click the below link to go to see the Colorado Color last Wednesday (10/1/08), primarily on Cottonwood and Kebler Passes.[/SIZE]

Great pictures!!!! I was in the Mt. Elbert, Aspen, Vail area last weekend and it was beautiful even though the weather was gray. Your pictures turned out better than mine.

Beautiful. Wish I could be there to see that. I was lucky enough, though, to have snowmobiled part of Kebbler Pass, from the CB side to Lost Lake, last January. It's a truly remarkable place.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I have snowmobiled in several different areas of Colorado, but not out of Crested Butte -- beautiful in the winter for sur.
