Aspen Gold Against a Colorado Sky

I had to make a cross-country drive this fall, and fortunately the timing was right that I could take a long detour through several of the scenic highways in the Colorado high country and catch the trees at peak color.

 

This day began in Farmington, New Mexico, and I passed into Colorado at first light. Breakfast in Durango, then up route 550 through Silverton, Ouray, and Ridgway to Delta. Then east along route 133 to Carbondale, and from there up to Aspen at sunset. Easily one of the most beautiful drives of my entire life.

 

Thanks for all of your continued views, comments, and favorites, everyone! I really appreciate it.
