    Aspens are turning

    IMO the most beautiful Time in Colorado and also the best time to ride. Absolutely stunning scenery. Everything just pops.

    Last weekend it was starting to turn good in the high country. Here are a few shots from Rabbit Ears.

    Re: Aspens are turning

    This is the route we took last Sunday. With the exception of the I70 portion Sunday afternoon, traffic was a non factor.

    Thanks. One of these days I really need to invest in a decent camera and the skills to use it. Anyone else have any?

    Here are a few from the short ride the wife and I took today.

    Re: Aspens are turning

    Great pics, Matrix. Thanks for sharing. Here some pics from last weekend - Million Dollar Hwy was great riding, but the biggest surprise was Grand Mesa. This was my first time and it was amazing!
    Avon , west of Vail, looked beautiful, too:

    Blue Mesa water levels are very low

    We originally planned to do the trip this weekend, but the weather made us nervous so we pushed it up a week. I bet you could still do the trip this coming weekend and maybe the first weekend in Oct. We have been out in the Ouray area the last 3 years straight this time of year and the weather has always been perfect. Honestly, it was kind of hot (70-80s) on Sunday coming back over the Mesa.

    Route we took last weekend - http://goo.gl/maps/Z70pg
    We ran out of daylight on Sunday, so had to slab it back to the Springs. Also add about 100 miles once we got to Ouray and spend time playing on the Million $. If you can, get off 70 to Breck, Fairplay, and back 285.
