Colorado Review

I went out of town this weekend and returned home to this:

Gorgeous hues of burnt-orange leaves on Roaring Fork Valley mountains, and a dusting (actually more like a good cover) of snow on Mount Sopris, a nearly fourteen-thousand-feet peak that overlooks Carbondale. My point-and-shoot digital doesn’t do the scene justice; you’ll just have to road trip up here to see for yourself! (This is the morning view from my front porch; I should wait until the afternoon to show you the robin’s-egg blue sky that appears once the sun rises a bit more.)

I love autumn in the Rockies. Winter is not far behind. I sent my kids to school in their fleece jackets and mittens this morning. (Waiting for the bus in the shade is chillllly!)

Carbondale, Colorado, snow, Rockies
