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.
October 10, 2006 - On Monday, I made another
drive along Cottonwood Pass Road. Adjacent photo shows remaining autumn foliage on the roadside.
