It was raining most of the day yesterday, but just before sunset the skies began to clear. The first photo (above) was taken along the Dallas Divide just before sunset.
Since the time of my last post, colors have reached or surpassed peak depending on the area. This photo was taken from the corkscrew turntable trail (#9 on this pdf map) in Ironton, CO. This trail was the railbed for the Silverton Railroad and includes a covered turntable and switchback (turntable circa 1890).
