Independence Pass (September 2010)

Aspen trees, in honor of autumn, and in anticipation of my mountain jaunt tomorrow.

Taken on a day-trip up Independence Pass in the fall of 2010, prior to a good friend moving back to California. She and I spent a couple of months in 2010 going on photographic road trips so she could get as much of Colorado in her sights before leaving.  This trip took us over Kenosha Pass, through Leadville, over Independence Pass, and back home down I-70. Tomorrow’s day trip will be over Guanella Pass (road conditions permitting), Leadville, Independence Pass, back down to Kenosha, and home.  Should be a good way to celebrate the Autumn Equinox.
