Joan and I met up with Holly and Dan for some hiking and camping in the always enjoyable San Juan Mountains of Colorado.
A touch of fall in the mountains.
Words I've kept in mind often in recent times -
The Red Colored River earned its name today. All the recent rain washed an amazing amount of red rock debris into the river.
@ramblinghemlock and I attended a talk at the Devil's Garden Campground in Arches by a friend. An enjoyable program on a wonderful late-summer evening.
Between the fires, a brief monsoon season, the AQI, and life in general, we didn't make it to our summer retreat in the San Juans as much as we'd hoped. But this "weekend," Joan and I finally made it back to our favorite mountains in Colorado.
