Colorado Day #2

Alluvial Fan was the highlight today.  Spent a lot of time climbing the falls - and Aiden spent a lot of time jumping from rock to rock and giving me heart attacks.  He's in heaven out here.







We drove the unpaved, one way, narrow, twisty, turny Old Fall River Road at the end of the day.  It was harrowing at times, but the views were nothing short of breathtaking.  



I like to think I'm fairly in shape, but the elevation in Colorado is no joke.  We hiked up the Alpine Ridge Trail towards the end of the day.  It was short, but it literally sucked the air out of my lungs.  And it was FREEZING at the top!
