Six carloads drove from the South Fork along Park Creek, then into the Alamosa basin and over to the Conejos Basin. We marveled at the bright golds, yellows, greens, oranges, and colors without a name. Texas friends commented on the morning snow cover above 11,000' and the ice and snow falling on our way home.
We all enjoyed a tasty lunch at Skyline Lodge, drove around to look at water features and more multi-colored aspen. Thanks for the cheerful spirit and patience with the photographers. It was a harmonious day.
NEXT TUESDAY: We have a request to carry a light-weight wooden sign to place at Fremont's Christmas Camp. Bob and Dennis and I talked it over and we're interested. This is a volunteer mission for the Forest Service and for our own satisfaction.
If you want to search for this place again (we haven't been there this year--it's a logical next step for our Fremont series), please join us by 9 a.m. at the South Fork Visitor Center with several layers to deal with changing weather. We will be near timberline, although probably not dangerously exposed. The walking is partly on trail and partly in the rough.
