Autumn in Colorado


I took a much needed day off from work today. I put Tom Petty on the radio and headed up into the mountains. I attempted to hike the Lion Gulch trail that had been closed since our 2013 floods. The trail is open again, but there is still work to do. I followed it for awhile, but wasn't able to make it to the old homestead cabins along the trail as it petered out shortly after I crossed the river. Maybe if the ground hadn't been covered in snow I would have been able to find it again, so I guess I'll try again in the spring. Even though I couldn't follow the trail all the way, I did see some beautiful scenery.













Although I haven't yet dug out all of our Halloween decorations, I did get my front room coffee table decorated. I went ahead and put all of my books that I like to read this time of year there so they're easy to get to.
