Greetings!

Fall is turning out to be lengthy this year, with clear warm days and many stands of trees still showing gold (and some still green). Drives along the Silver Thread National Scenic Byway and along the Alpine Loop National Back Country Byway are full of color and wonderful views.

We've included links to some fun photo albums and a new video for you in this month's newsletter. Enjoy!

Colorado Grand Visits Lake City

Enjoy this photo album of vintage automobiles that made a stop in Lake City this fall.

Colorado Grand is a thousand mile automobile tour through the most beautiful parts of the state. Car owners make substantial charitable donations at each stop along the way. This year, Colorado Grand donated to Hinsdale County Search & Rescue.

Hinsdale Haute Route

In a few weeks the snow will be falling on Lake City, and the extensive network of back country trails will open. See what one of the cozy yurts in the Hinsdale Haute Route is like in the winter in this video feature.
