It's Fall in Colorado and we were exicted to get out there and celebrate the changing of the colors. From Montrose, CO we traveled Highway 50 to Delta; St Rt 92 to Hotchkiss and then St Rt 133 to the Kebler Pass Road. It took us about 1.5 hours to reach the turn off point enjoying the smalls towns as we went through along the way like Hochkiss, Paonia and Bowie.
References indicated that the Kebler Pass Road is an old railway grade. The two-lane gravel road goes up and over Kebler Pass and currently is a popular route for anyone travelling between Crested Butte and Carbondale, Paonia, Delta or Montrose. Beautiful aspens, the surrounding West Elk Mountains and the Ruby Range create a scenic drive with endless photography options. The drive welcomed us with golden, brilliant orange and red leaf colors. We found exactly what we were hoping to see.

| Kebler Pass Road - Easy driving |

| Side excursion to Lost Lake. Beautiful area. Would be great for summer camping. |

| What is left of the Town of Baldwin. Founded in 1881 when gold was discovered. The whole town is privately owned with No Trespassing signs posted. Too bad. Would love to explore the old buildings. |
Our photos do not do the area justice on
the magnitude of the colors offered during our drive.
Thanks for joining us on our Fall adventure.
Enjoy your day!
