Fall Color on the Ptarmigan Trail

I knew when I hiked the Ptarmigan Trail in Silverthorne last spring that it would be spectacular in the fall. It did not disappoint! There is nothing like cooler temperatures, deep blue skies, and yellow Aspen leaves blowing in the wind like confetti.

Two weeks ago, we so much enjoyed the hillsides of golden aspens. Such a beautiful state you live in.
