The road is always a little rocky, and it did not disappoint. The trees were not quite perfect, but they were close.
Every year, I take pictures of the beautiful aspens . . . and I never tire of them.
We discovered that Nelson is not particularly fond of bumpy roads, and he was in our lap most of the time. I felt sorry for him . . . he was shaking a bit and pacing when he could. Every time the car stopped, he was ready to exit!
Peter is an earth-science professor, and going to Elk Mountain with him to tell us about some of the geology was really fun. We stopped at one fossiliferous area, and he found many cool fossils. Don took a picture of one of the best rocks they found. It has many critinoids in it . . . really exciting for those of us who love rocks, fossils, and geology.
The trip to Elk Mountain lasted the greater part of the day, which was time well-spent.
