Cinnamon Pass/Engineer Pass

 It was COLD as we set out that morning!  But one of the best things about the razor is that it has a heater and we used it for a long time!

Not too many people were out at the time we left but of course it got much busier as the day went on!  We would rather get up early and start our day when there's not a lot of traffic on the passes!

There's snow up there!!  Not sure if it's old snow or new snow!

Cinnamon Pass - made it up there!  It was chilly!

Lots of color on the hillsides!

It is crazy rough country up there - Cinnamon Pass and Engineer Pass are all connected so you can make a complete loop!

Glenn looks like he's dressed for winter!!

This is where we stopped and had our lunch!  A beautiful spot by a stream!

And then we FINALLY made it to Nellie Creek Rd - the BEST place to take pictures on this horribly rough road!!  But it's worth it!

Every time we go to Lake City, I take this picture!!  It looks similar every year but this year the colors were more vibrant than ever!  WOW - such majesty!!  And that little bit of snow on top of the mountain sure makes those colors pop!

We were pretty darn tired by the time we got back to the condo - Glenn took a little nap and I did some reading until we went into town to eat at Southern Vittles!  Another good meal!

Once again, a great fall trip to Lake City!  But it's time to get home and get re-packed for our trip to the East Coast!  Now those colors will probably be a lot different than our aspens and I can hardly wait!
