Perfect. The fall colors add so much to this reflection in the beaver pond.
We said we need to come back in the fall when we were here in July 2016.
The horses seem oblivious to their surroundings but add beauty to the vistas.
We found a great camp spot a bit closer to the trail.
Blue Lakes Trail heads into the Mount Sneffels Wilderness.
We enjoyed a short break at the first lake, wondering where the trail continued.
There is a view after we gained a few feet of elevation.

We turned off Slumgullion Pass to Deer Lakes on the Cannibal Plateau in the Gunnison National Forest-
trying our best not to do an Alfred Packer
We found a great spot to camp next to this beaver pond – we watched several move branches across the pond and then disappear underwater.
A hike into the Powderhorn wilderness above our camp.
A peaceful way to enjoy a day. It is wonderful to be off the grid.
Heading back to our favorite campsite to watch the beaver family preparing for winter.
