Square Top Lakes - surprisingly round ;)

Another Saturday and I couldn't stay put. I decided to take an easy hike and went to Guanella Pass to hike up to Square Top Lakes. I didn't expect them to be square (and I was right), but I did expect to have a good time far from the hot air of the city downhills. I dropped my car and started along the trail that weaves through the beautiful valley...

 

Yellow, red, green and blue - it's autumn!

As the demands of a bustling week gradually fade, there emerges an undeniable need for respite, a moment to distance oneself from the urban clamor. And what better time than October, where the transition from summer's verdant green to autumn's gilded embrace beckons us into nature's soothing arms.

 

The Last Call...

The snow is blowing outside (it's expected in January, right?)... And I am craving traveling through time to visit some warmer and nicer time of the year. Wanna join me? Let's land somewhere in September, when the weather is nice and mild and the Colorado colors are bright as they can be...

 

Yellow color of Guanella Pass Road

This is a bit unbelievable - October is here but most of the leaves down in Denver are green and summery. Yeah, the wind is playing with some dry leaves here and there but it doesn't feel like a Fall is here, does it?

 

Silver Dollar Lake hike

Sometimes it is hard to decide on a destination for a hike. Sometimes it is easy. The hike last Saturday was one with a clear explanation even the explanation was... mmm... not that easy to explain ;)

 

Fall colors, Guanella Pass

We all have some reasons to wait impatiently for Fall time. The biggest one is that the hot Summer is finally giving up and the cooler season is rolling towards Winter. It is especially true after the toasty Summer like we had back in 2018... Even if we don't need to wait for a long time, still, let's turn on the time machine and jump a month ahead and enjoy Fall colors...
