Fall Colors and a Moose

On a beautiful September day, Tim and I decided to drive up into the mountains to see how the fall colors were progressing. We headed towards Red Feather Lakes and into Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest.

We were delighted with the colors that we saw. They were a good omen for what we might see on the train trip we are taking next week.

Yes, the Leaves Are Starting to Change

We wound our way through the back roads and were sad to see the results of the recent Cameron Peak wildfire. Wildfires have been happening with more frequency in the last few years, and the destruction is more widespread.

Before we headed for home through Poudre Canyon, we stopped at Chambers Lake, where we were rewarded with a moose sighting. The moose didn’t seem perturbed by the nearby fishermen as it made its way to the lake for a drink. What a great way to end the day.
