It's All About The Aspens

After ATVing at Sargents, we packed up and headed for Buffalo Peaks, outside of Buena Vista.  We had seen on the way over that the colors were pretty vibrant over that way so I was excited to get there!

Monarch Pass had changed even in the couple of days and it was beautiful driving the pass!  We found a great wilderness spot by late afternoon and set up camp!  Glenn got some firewood and we even had a fire that evening!

Early Thursday morning we headed out - it was warmer than the previous days but still chilly so we dressed warmly!  Unfortunately the day was windy - very windy!  But the colors were gorgeous!!

 Once again, there was plenty of orange in some of the leaves!

We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch and ended up putting on about 50 miles that day!

No fire that evening as it was just too windy!  We both felt a little wind burnt after riding all day!!

Our plans were to move to the other side of Buffalo Peaks on Friday morning and ATV about 1/2 day over there before we headed home.   But dark storm clouds moved in pretty fast that morning and we weren't excited about getting caught in the rain so headed on home!  An excellent fall trip!!
