Reason #1,023 Why I Love Living in Colorado

The last few years, Lisa and I have missed seeing the aspens change in the mountains, so this year we made an event out of it. We stayed in Crested Butte for a few nights and got a chance to explore the area. We spent a lot of time driving over Kebler Pass, Ohio Pass, and McClure Pass; all of which had spectacular views.
