Hit some crazy frost on the way back home. Not sure how common this is, but it was a surreal sight.

Onward to Aspen. Just barely caught the sunrise at Maroon Bells.  Thankfully this was about 50 yards away from the parking lot.

Wet some line at the Frying Pan outside of town.  Saw some mulies, bighorn, and one especially curious black bear cub out here.

Needless to say, we GTFO of that spot. Wish I had had the camera...
