Colorado, October 3

Mt. Sneffels at Sunrise. October 3, 2002.

My fall in Colorado series.  This is one of the two most classic scenic locations in Colorado. (The other is the Maroon Bells and Maroon Lake. See October 23 and 24.) It is 6+ miles west of Ridgway Colorado on CO-62. You can’t miss it. On most any fall day you will see cars parked on the side of the highway and photographers lined up taking pictures.
