Fall Colors and High Altitude

I took a drive on Wednesday over to Silverton with some friends. We went to 4-wheel Cork Screw Pass. The fall colors between Durango and Silverton had not yet peaked. They should do so within the next 10 days in case any of you are planning a trip to see the colors. I was at Lake City and Creed over a week ago and the colors were almost peaking then. I would think they are currently at their peak or post peak beauty.

The drive over Cork Screw Pass was fantastic with panoramic views. Red Mountain was indeed red and gorgous. We dropped down into Ouray after hitting HWY 550 and drove up the road to Imagene Pass for about 5 miles just to explore the area. The colors there were absolutely fantastic.

Hope you are able to get out and see this beautiful area this Fall.

Real Estate is plodding along. We had our best week in some time. Maybe this is an indication of an improving market. With the 700 Billon Dollar Bailout approved today by the House and signed by the President , maybe the economy will at least begin to rebound.

Have a nice Week End!
