Fall Color Tour

The weather here in Vail has been beautiful the last couple of weeks! It feels like summer outside but the trees give the impression that it is indeed fall. Beautiful yellow Aspen trees dot the mountainside and just beg for you to come and enjoy them. Two Sundays in a row now I have answered that call. Last week Andy and I attended first service at church then made our way up the mountain for a nice picnic lunch at mid Vail. Today a friend and I took a very similar route up the mountain and were again amazed by the beautiful colors all around us. What a difference a week makes though. Last week the leaves were starting to turn brilliant shades of yellow and even a little orange. This week some of the leaves were becoming polka doted with brown specs and were falling onto the ground. Still quite stunning and a nice reminder that although it may not feel like it outside, the ski season is just around the corner.
Hobie was so excited about taking a hike on Vail mountain!
Beautiful blue sky and Aspen trees.
The leaves are changing!!



The Vista Bahn...my favorite way to start the day on Vail Mountain during the winter.

Oh the beauty of Vail in the fall!
