About this blog:
We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...
And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.
Using anything published here without permission is violation of the law and... it isn't really nice...

Vibrant colors of Highway of Legends

It's just unbelievable how the snowfall in October changes everything. Overnight, the colorful fall gave way to a peaceful and white winter. The temperature dropped and... immediately we realized how beautiful this fall was... with its warm days and vibrant colors... And although we only have to wait a couple of days before the warm weather returns, today I want to travel back in time (not very far) and refresh the memory with the bright colors of the Highway of Legends, along which we passed just a couple weeks ago.

 
It's hard to believe it was just two weeks ago... We started early on Friday and drove down to Walsenburg where we turned onto Highway 12 and planned to drive slowly, enjoying seeing the fall colors... 







But, to be honest, we didn't expect such a slowness on the road. The views were so beautiful and the colors so vibrant that we stopped every couple of minutes to take it in...







It took over two hours to cover 30 miles ;) and we actually didn't mind. I guess we would have agreed to go even slower and stop more often... but at some point it was so overwhelming that we just kept going as slow as we could, continuing to observe and absorb... It was one perfect day to see the fall colors on one of the most beautiful roads in Colorado...







It wasn't our first time on this road (click here to look at our previous journey - Highway of Legends - La Veta and Stonewall...) but it was definitely our best!







Pictures were taken on October 13, 2023.
