Description

I wanted to get out for the peaking colors here in Colorado as I am going to Aruba the following weekend. Usually my girlfriend joins but she has a golf tournament. Originally I was going to do the Kings Lake > Devils Thumb pass > Jasper lake loop but rain and snow were in the forecast which I just wasn't feeling this time around. So I opted to go Friday after work and return this morning.
