If one has read other posts of mine, it’s most likely obvious I and three other buddies take a hiking trip each year to some magnificent part of the United States … usually a National Park.
This year, our Fall adventure was to Crested Butte, Colorado where we enjoyed this unique, historic old mining town and the incredible mountain trails in the area.
We arrived on a sunny Saturday followed by a day of heavy snow on Monday and then a magnificent week of crisp, blue sky hiking.
Beautiful setting for this Historic City
Treacherous Drive
Dark Canyon Aspen
The above photo was taken on our fourth day of hiking. This was a relatively short hike of four miles but a hike with a rewarding view of one of the largest Aspen groves in the United states.

Below are a few more random shots including a marker at a cemetery near the top of Kibler Pass and a shot of the 2000 foot deep Black Canyon near Montrose, Colorado.
I could go on and on but the pictures truly do tell the story of a wonderful trip.
