I traveled around a few points in the state of Colorado looking for fall color this past weekend. It has been a really nice fall with good weather for a change. No major snow or freeze to kill the color so far. I drove a lot of back roads. I started at the Castle Creek Road in Aspen and then drove over McClure Pass. Then I took Forest Road 250 around to Paonia and then went over Kebler and Ohio Passes near Gunnison and Crested Butte. Then due to the closure of Highway 50, I drove the North Rim of the Black Canyon. I even ended up at Vega Stat Park near Calhan.
The fishing was also excellent. I caught 7 fish in limited time. I caught my first Cutbow (a mix of a cutthroat and rainbow), all six pounds of her. It was nice camping although I am not a fan of cattle grazing on the National Forest. I got kept awake by bellowing cattle most of the night. They also trashed the trail to the beaver pond.
