With this full rainbow sighting, we knew we had hit the motherlode.
And, sure enough, we had … hitting the Rockies when the Aspen color was at it’s peak. Just like rich veins of gold and copper, the iridescent brilliance laced itself through the forest beckoning us to explore every trail, road and vista. Had we been panning for gold, we could not have been more richly rewarded.

In some areas, many of the trees were beginning to lose their leaves. Even at that, there is something really beautiful about the huge clusters of white bark trees … especially if the colors subtly appear as though an artist has dabbed his brush randomly onto the tree tops.
To make things even more comfortable and relaxing, each day after mining for gold and retail treasures, we returned to this modest (give me a break) home located between Breckenridge and Frisco, Co. As John would say ” this is Patti and Donna’s idea of roughing it“.
For many years we ventured to Colorado for family snow skiing. Now we go to enjoy cooler, drier weather in the Summer and Fall. This time we truly did hit the jackpot with the most beautiful Fall Colors we have ever experienced.
September is not a bad time to tour the Rockies!
Gorgeous, gorgeous pictures! So glad I got to see you all.
Cheers! Marion
