Seems like everyone liked the first part so is here is the second part....
So after driving up Kebler Pass and down Ohio Pass we went out and hit Owl Creek Pass on the way back from Gunnison.
Owl Creek Pass goes through the heart of the Cimarron mountain range just East of the San Juan's.

Above is a shot of Chimney Rock near Ridgway which is known as the back drop from the original John Wayne's 'True Grit' Movie.
So this past weekend we went on another local run to the West of Montrose on the divide road across the Uncompahgre plateau.

Some of the brightest colors were on this run!

Strange growth patterns that couldn't be passed up without a pic.

We then went on over to Dolores Colorado and up the Dolores creek road through Rico and over Lizard head Pass

The colors were still 'popping' here.

Hope you enjoy this round as we had a major weather front move through this past week with high 40 mph winds which dropped most of the leaves. There's always next year.....
