Driving over Cottonwood Pass to CB

We took a spur of the moment trip to see the fall aspens this past weekend. Arn and I left Sat. AM and drove to Buena Vista, over Cottonwood Pass, past Taylor Res, along the Taylor River to Crested Butte. The aspens were in full color. We stopped in Cottonwood Pass to hike a little and ended up going for 3 hrs. on a segment of the Colorado Tr. It was kind of hot and mostly uphill so it probably won't be a repeat hike. On the way home when we stopped at Kay's Dairy Barn we met an older couple who are CT caretakers. They clued us in to the south leg of that segment that isn't uphill so we'll try that next time. On Sunday we drove from CB to Paonia thru Kebler Pass. It's beautiful but a several hr. trip. Not many of the stores were open. I've always wanted to drive to Paonia, Arn wasn't thrilled, so it's a Been there, Done that item. We got a few things done around the condo. The pics aren't mine....I forgot to return the memory card to the camera.
