We took one last trip up Willow Park in search of Bowman Creek and the Aspens changing since today is the first day of Fall. We have been busy packing and getting ready to head out on Wed. so it was nice to take a couple of hours off to sight see.
We will miss Colorado but the temperatures are definitely Fall with cool mornings and today with mostly clouds, I think we reached mid-60's around 4pm! I think when we head out on Wed., we will be departing in the low 40's (definitely will need my hoodie)!!
Here's a few of our last Colorado pics -- Enjoy and I'll be off the grid for as we travel back to Arizona.
We started the journey up Willow Park road looking for the Bowman Creek sign that Darrel just knew he had seen in a previous trip.??
We found one "golden" aspen among the green aspens, just getting ready to turn!
Next stop was the creek that goes across the road and has still quite a bit of water and a steep climb so we got out and hiked up stream a ways.
Looking for rocks to make a stepping stone crossing -- Darrel told me I should have taken my walking stick, really, I think I needed my rubber boots!
Tossing rocks is hard work, so I took a break to smile at him!
He didn't find the road sign for Bowman Creek but on our way down, we found a few more aspens changing color and we found some in the orangey-red color, too!
I finally convinced him that the sign he saw was for Bowman Creek Road and we found that but was unsure of where the creek was -- to late in the day to keep looking so that will be a quest for next year.
So for now I'll send blessings from the road and wish us good travels as we head back to Arizona.
Love and hugs to all,
Susan & Darrel
