The colors are now brilliant!

 

A few final photographs of our last days in Lake City

We took 2 more trips this week to see the colors before we left: Wednesday around the Alpine Loop , across the California Gulch and on the Corkscrew Trail to Ouray; Thursday we went up through the Ohio Pass to Crested Butte and Gothic.

Below are a few of our first day. We started early and we fortunate to see a family of goats on the way:

September is an incredible month in the Lake City Area

What great weather we are having here: clear skies , cool mornings and warm days. Yellow aspens are starting to appear, with occasional snow on the peaks in the mornings. We have about 10 days left before heading home and we plan to soak up this scenery every day until then.
