Eleven fortunate hikers got to observe the early colors on the Rio Grande NF on the third day of autumn. Deep blue skies, dark pines and spruce contrasted with aspens' range of colors, from orange to fading green. We looked down into Elk Creek Ranch, and up to Sentinel Mtn and Del
Norte Peak. We marveled and wondered at the log tepee (please leave it alone).
This road has several branches that will be lakes of gold over the next two weeks.

Next Tuesday, 9 am, leave Rickel Park for a visit to Shallow Creek's often spectacular colors. One-half along the creek; second half is steeper. Lunch on the hillside, then return.
