The Westy gets prepped..
Zula's doggy smile says she's psyched for the trip, but I don't think she called shotgun.
First stop, the western slope to Palisade for the fresh fruit...
...and the grapes! We hopped on the bikes and toured the valley, tasting only a handful of the area's 40 vineyards, but ohhh so good. So many wineries, so little time, so fun to ride when you're buzzed on wine...
Mmmm, breakfast....grilled bagels with honey cinnamon butter and nectarines!
Lynn shooting the yellow aspens up on Grand Mesa, at 11,000ft, its the world's largest flat-topped mountain. Thats big. And beautiful.
On to Ridgeway in the San Juan Mtns. We treated ourselves to studio apartment lodging, hot springs, and massages!
And pumpkin ravioli with blue cheese cream sauce!.....and Lynn's new ring :)
We headed up to Yankee Boy Basin out of Ouray, one of the most bee-you-tiful places anywhere. We had an awesome bluebird dayhike up to Mt. Sneffels 14,150ft. Lynn carried our food, and I lugged up the 4x5 field camera up for some large format image-making.
Its always fun to wake up to new snow. Hey this ain't Mexico is it?
Definitely made for some great fall foliage photography with the snow coated evergreens.
The snow was blowing off the ground in Crested Butte, Lynn captured this gust beautifully.
And lots of snow on top of Cottonwood Pass. muddy wet roads on one side...
...and plenty dry on the other to haul ass on the bike!
Our last stop was further north to Fraser/Winter Park for one last swanky stay in a cabin in the woods, mimosas and truffles for breakfast, and hot-tubbin before heading home. What a trip!
We rode bikes to our ceremony site and I (symbolically) carried Lynn across the threshold...
We saw some awesome sunsets, here's a reflection of one of them in a pond near Devil's Thumb Ranch...
And one last soothing hot tub before heading home. We even ordered up a ranch burger and home style potatoes to go!
