Some friends of ours stopped over the other day and they wanted to see the fall colors!

The first thing we did was to show them our back yard colors but the altitude and the wind had blown all the leaves off the trees and far off and up to our highest mountain peaks.



Next we hiked up and over the mountains to hopefully see more colors on the other side.

After 2 days of hiking, our luck prevaled and we were treated with magnificent colors of yellow, red and amber leaves mixed in with the green pines that littered the mountain side.

The farther we hiked down the more lucky we were treated with spectacular visions of gradeur.

Finally we took just one more shot of the red leaves of the Aspen tree as we were leaving. What a beautiful world we live in even though the trip through the mountains back home to an extra day and 2 nights.... it was definately worth it...
