A Beautiful Fall Day on the Grand Mesa

Brad and I took a picnic and drove up to the Grand Mesa.
The scenery started out a bit hazy because of wildfire smoke drifting from Idaho.
Still spectacular!
 
 
By the time we got up around Powderhorn Ski Resort,
the air started to clear and colors started to pop!
 
 
 
 
We continued up and up until at around 10,000 feet, we were at Crag's Crest.
Stopped for lunch near one of the lakes.
Enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine that Kevin brought us
from England.  Really nice flavor...very grapefruity!
 
Happy 32nd Anniversary!!!!
 
Had "fun" trying to set up the camera to take our picture!

 
As we started back down....the air was crystal clear and
the colors were even more vivid!
 
...it really wasn't cold....
I just thought we should have a picture with jackets on!
 
 
 
The orange in this picture isn't half as bright as in person!
Unbelievable!
