Fall and winter collide in the Colorado high country

Fall and winter collide in the Colorado high country
Fall foliage at lower elevations with fresh show higher up as seen from Webster Pass. (Tony’s Takes)

A bit of a taste of two seasons yesterday in Pike National Forest with beautiful, golden aspen trees and a fresh coat of snow at higher elevations.

I covered a lot of ground yesterday and while the moose I had hoped to find didn’t want to play, Mother Nature showed off her gold quite nicely. The night before, a bit of snow had fallen above timberline coating the bare peaks in white. At the 11,670 foot highest point of my drive it was below freezing and the roads were a bit icy.

Winter is coming! 😉
