October 9, 2006 - We had three days of extremely cloudy weather (October 8-10), with rain in Buena Vista, and a mix of sleet and snow in the higher elevations. On the 9th, I snapped these two photos of Cottonwood Creek near the Cottonwood Hot Springs (top) and snow-covered trees near the entrance to the Ptarmigan Lake trailhead.
Autumn Foliage October 10, 2006 - On Monday, I made another drive along Cottonwood Pass Road. Adjacent photo shows remaining autumn foliage on the roadside.
Colorado A mix of autumn and winter. ;)

My all-time best photos of an "autumn and winter mix" can be seen here: "Fire and Ice" at Independence Pass.
