COTTONWOOD PASS: Fall Colors from Buena Vista to Continental Divide
September 27, 2003

Cottonwood Pass! To get there, go west at the only traffic light in Buena Vista, where you'll see the awe-inspiring east face of Mount Princeton. |
 |
Other Colorado Passes:
Independence Pass
Poncha Pass
Wilkerson Pass
Wolf Creek Pass |
 |
Cottonwood Creek, which flows into the infant Arkansas River. |
 |
The scenery is pretty darn amazing from the get-go! |
 |
I can assure you, you will not be disappointed driving up Cottonwood Pass, especially during the fall. |
 |
As you head east, you'll see a picturesque lake on the left.
I got some nice shots of it! :) |
 |
Large mountains surround the upper landscape! (Bottom picture is looking back down!) |

 |
The views to the east! |
 |
People, it was so peaceful up there. I highly recommend visiting this pass! ;) |
 |
The views to the west! |
 |
Strangers look out to the west. |
 |
That's me. I'm not happy with the picture, but oh well! :P |
 |
More fall foliage on the way back! |

Zoom out and zoom in. |

Okay! Let the fall colors show begin! :) |
