Fire on The Mountain!

The route we took from Ridgway

Fall Colors are going off at altitudes above 9000 ft. Eleni and I took Saturday off to go to the wine festival with John Lowey then after lunch headed south to go to an art exhibition in Ridgway. We got to visit with many of our friends there and view the work of some very talented folks including Barbara Kendrick who has definitely found the knack of painting with pastels.

When we woke up Sunday morning it was 23° out so we cancelled the bike ride we had planned and headed to Durango via Red Mountain Pass. At around 7000 ft. Pleasant Valley was getting ready to go off but was not quite there. However, once we started the climb up to Red Mountain Pass the mountains became a fabulous show of color. After our overnight in Durango we came back over Lizard Head Pass and Telluride. By next weekend the Dolores River Canyon between Rico and Dolores will be a spectacular scene. I don't think I have ever seen so many aspens in one place. Any way these are a few of the pictures I took in my wham bam style of photography. If we're lucky Mike Curtis might grace our web site with some of his professional efforts in the next couple of weeks.
