I walked the Peak To Peak to Nederland many many times.

I think the most beautiful was in the morning after a big snow storm. Blue sky, fresh white powder. Few cars. So peaceful.

But Aspen Gold time was also very special. My favorite area was the old road going up to Rollins pass. There were several groves on the lower part between the Moffat Tunnel and before the old tunnels that were just gorgeous.

Thanks for the memories!
