Fall Color
Trip 2012... |
|
We spent the weekend in the Rockies taking in the splendor
of this year's fall colors and to partake in the Octoberfest
activities in Breckenridge and Vail.
We started out on US 285 over Kenosha Pass, then we drove
into Breckenridge by taking Forest Service Road 33, a narrow
dirt road which takes you over Boreas Pass. We spent the afternoon
in Breckenridge before heading to Vail for the evening. The next
day we did some hiking in an Aspen glade at Beaver Creek.

- Boreas Pass - Instead of heading
to Breckenridge via Fairplay on State Highway 9, we decided to
be more adventurous and took the narrow dirt road which is Forest
Service Road 33 which winds over Boreas Pass and then descends
into Breckenridge providing some stunning scenery.
