Not the best or most photogenic year for skiing. Not to say we did not do any skiing….it just wasn’t as good as past years. We made the best of the ski season though.

@ramblinghemlock and I did an overnight to an obscure peak with an amazing viewscape. From the summit, we could see the Abajos and La Sals (our “home” mountains), distant 13ers and 14ers along the horizon, and the red rock country over the horizon. An incredible sunset capped off the evening.
Local mountains view. A touch of fall up high.
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.
