Hanging with the boys in Boulder, empty mountain roads, incredible foliage, adobes and pueblos, the air at 10,000 feet, more incredible golden foliage, rivers and snow capped peaks. SO much beauty. I feel so, so lucky to be on this trip. The most perfect timing with weather and leaves and my life long travelling companion at my side.
