Just returned from Colorado and the color is really taking off. Kebler Pass shou ld be coming into it's fullest color now.(sept 15-16) Lake City and Wolf Creek P ass are full now. Lower down you have about a week or week and a half for full c olor. Just gorgeous skies and temps are nice. James
James, you mentioned Lake City. We have some property there, but won't be able to get there from California this fall. What a shame. I am surprised many people even know where Lake City is!
Where, exactly, were the best colors found? I assume on the Alpine Loop, near Capitol City.
Re: Colorado colors------Due to the moisture this past spring/summer and other factors, the fall colors this year will be one which stands out from those of the recent past. Yesterday, my wife and I took a Sunday drive to Aspen from Vail---the drive from Denver up into the mountains is full of colors as is the Vail/Aspen area. Denver newspaper columnists are saying all of Colorado will be colorfull . I recently drove to SLC & back in August and colors were noticeable along that route even at that time-----it's raining today & possibly up high, a trace of snow.
