Day 260: Peak to Peak Highway

There are thousands of picturesque locations throughout Colorado.  We're fortunate to live close to a stretch of road that serpentines through the Rocky Mountains, called the Peak to Peak Highway.  It goes from Nederland to Estes Park but I'm sure it goes farther.  That just happens to be where we pick up the trail.  This morning Julie and I got up early to take in the scenery of the changing colors up in the Rockies.  We're only in the middle of September and some places the leaves have already completely changed and have started falling to the ground.  There are still patches of Aspens that are still mostly green so hopefully we'll have a couple weeks of beautiful Fall colors to come.  We stopped at a variety of places and even checked out a few campgrounds for next Summer.  Not a lot of folks were out as early as us but as the morning wore on we found more and more sightseers and photographers taking in the beautiful scenery. 

I'm so thankful that Julie and I have many shared interests but I think photography is our favorite.  It's so much fun getting out together, just the two of us, exploring places we've never been, capturing them in photographs.  If you've ever been to our house you'll notice we have quite a few photos of landscapes we've found together.  Yeah, our shrines to our two beautiful daughters take up most of the wall space but we have a lot of scenic ones as well and nearly all of them have some special story behind them.  So here's to more adventures and more stories.  Hope you enjoy these as much as we did discovering them.
