FALL COLORS! Hike with Jae, Lisa, James & Jason, September 29, 2002
| The Crags! This is one hike that is well worth your while to experience! |
 |
| The actual trail is only about 2 or 3 miles and it just had a very peaceful feeling to it. |
 |
| Jae, Lisa, James and Jason (who's not pictured) and Chaya came along. Notice how they're all looking at the beautiful scenery ... and they were NOT posing! :) |
 |
| The fall colors were AMAZING! I'm telling you, you must see these yellow aspens in person! |

| Let's just say James had a little emergency and fortunately (for James) I had some spare toilet paper in my backpack to offer him. NO JOKE! |
 |
| By the way, The Crags is on the western side of Pikes Peak. Take the turn off on Route 67 just a little south of Mueller State Park. |
 |
| JUST AMAZING! |
 |
| Along the hike, Lisa decided to climb up on that cliff. Can you see her in the picture? :) |
 |
| Near the end of the trail, there's an upgrade which leads to some magnificent views... |
 |
| ...it's a somewhat steep cliff up there so be careful! :) (Oh, notice the Fruitcake Toss shirt that I'm wearing!) |
 |
| Oh! Chaya vomited during the ride up there, but I didn't think to take the camera out. Sorry! :-( |
 |
| Looking WAY down, I zoomed-in on some of those yellow aspens. |
 |
| Jae and her dog ... and just look at those mountains in the background! |
 |
| The wind was blowing extremely hard so I didn't get a good shot of it, but check out the twisted wood on this tree! |
