Colorado Fall Color - Sept. 27, 2009 (END)

Last day of the fall color tour today. We drove up Ohio Pass Road and all over Kebler Pass Road in search of good color. The best area seemed to be at the west end of Kebler. Later that afternoon, we drove through Marble to the the small mining town (near ghost town) of Crystal, where we photographed a Colorado icon - the so-called Crystal Mill (actually the pumphouse portion of an air compression system that fed to several of the nearby mines). You've probably seen it portrayed in Colorado calenders. There's a picture of it on my Web site, as it didn't make the picture of the day. That honor goes to a special grove of aspen near the west end of Kebler. The sun was low in the horizon, ready to set, and providing a soft sidelight. This single grove is considered one of the largest living organisms in the world, stretching for miles in every direction. Tomorrow we're homeward bound - thanks for joining us on this trip!
