The post about the plane got me to remembering some photos I had taken over the rockies in the fall when the Aspen were just starting to turn. You can see by the photos that we were at 17,400 feet and had to use O2. If you've never seen the Aspen change in the Rockies you are missing something beautiful. These shots were taken on a trip to see a friend in Delta, CO. It was probably about a week before the colors hit their peak.

I believe the first 2 photos were over Dillon, CO. The 3rd one was not the best, but you can start to see the Aspen. The 4th is of the Altimeter at 17,400 when we started circling for the photos, the 5th is me with the Oxygen Cannula and the rest are of the Aspen and the snow covered peaks over the Continental Divide.
