We woke up at 5 am on the 2nd day of our trip so we could drive to the Marroon Bells in time for sunrise. It was breathtaking! The colors were peak and the weather was perfect (albeit a bit chilly). We ate breakfast in the car before hiking around the Bells until a few hours after sunset when the Bells become fully lit.
The lake had calmed by then and made for a perfect fall reflections picture!
On our way out of Aspen/Snowmass, we took a detour to view Capitol Peak. We had heard the colors here would be amazing and were told that a non-4WD car should be able to make it, so we figured we'd have NO problems in our SUV. Boy were we (they?) wrong. There is absolutely no way a normal car would've made it. We had wished we had a Jeep, but we managed to make it. And boy was the view incredible (and totally worth it!).
After all that bumpy driving, Kyle had to go #2. Here's Kyle's classic poop face! Hilarious!
I love this shot I captured of daddy and son walking the trail.
Kyle found himself on cloud 9 with some sticks and rocks.
It was a long day of driving from Aspen to Crested Butte with many stops along the way for Kyle to play with rocks.
