In early October, we flew to Montrose,
then spent three days camping in the area with amazing
Fall colors.

San Juan Mountains near Silverton, CO

Telluride valley

Sneffels Range just west of Ridgway, CO

Cimmaron Mtn at sunset

We camped in total darkness near Silver
Jack Reservoir.

Hiking around the campsite while drinking
coffee next morning.

This valley is spectacular. We hiked
around in the morning.





Then had lunch near a lake.

One of my favorite photos from the trip.

Driving to the north rim of the Black
Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National
Park.




I believe these are West Elk Mountains of
Colorado.

We then drove to the famous Kebler Pass
road...

and had dinner with a view. We then drove
to the south rim of
the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and
camped there.

The next morning we hiked on the south
rim. Pretty spectacular canyon.




Then in early afternoon we flew home,
passing by several snow storms
and beautiful Fall colors all around us.




South San Juans

Platoro reservoir

Conejos valley with Blanca group of peaks
on the horizon.



Chama valley. I did not know there were
that many Fall colors there.

Alex was tired from staying up late
(making smores) and all the hiking.

Here is our flight track, in clockwise
