The striking beauty of the aspen.
It started to snow at the end of the day while I was sitting in camp under my tarp. Light at first, it wasn't long before the snow was thick and wet and weighing down my tarp. I conceded to the conditions, crawled into the back of the truck and called it a night.
There was a small pullout on the way up the mountain on the Corkscrew Gulch road. It was my first real 4x4 road in Colorado and very exciting to drive. It wasn't a very technical road, but plenty steep. The views were worth every effort to get there.
