Aspen

There is a reason people flock to Aspen in the autumn. Even though we missed peak Aspen color by a week or more, it was still spectacular - especially with the contrast of any early snowfall.

This is Maroon Bells . . . the most frequently photgraphed place in Colorado.

Say HELLO to Eileen, Rex and Donna who were attending the same seminar as Steve. We enjoyed several hikes and dinners together when they weren't hunting for bear.

I decided to try some mountain biking while Steve was attending a seminar. After climbing continously for about two hours, I decided to turn around. I will confess that I had to walk part of the way up, but it sure was an express trip down.
