Such a decision to make on where to go on a day trip with friend Carrie from Pueblo!! We both finally decided that we would just head to Buena Vista with a trip up Cottonwood Pass AND a stop at Cottonwood Lake - and it turned out to be one perfect day!
Carrie arrived by 8:00am and we were soon on the road! We made a quick stop at Wilkerson Pass to walk up the path and the leaves were beautiful there!! Right then we knew we picked a great day!
When we reached Buena Vista, we decided to go ahead and eat an early lunch so we stopped at Jan's and ate - always good and always pretty darn quick!
And then we headed up Cottonwood Pass!! The leaves were magnificient!
We stopped several times and then turned around and headed back down! Took the turnoff to Cottonwood Lake and although very bumpy, the road was lined with beautiful aspen trees!
I don't ever remember being at this lake before - it's not very large at all but extremely beautiful!
And then we headed down to a private lake - luckily the gate was open 1/2 way so we went in and parked just so we could take a few pictures!
And last but not least, Carrie took this picture of me on the pass!
A wonderful day with one last look at all the leaves!
