With Heather’s sister visiting us and the aspen showing their full fall colors, we ventured out in the Albino Rhino and met up with The Honey Badger to check out North Twin Cone Peak. The aspens from the parking lot at Kenosha Pass up to treeline were outstanding.
After climbing up to the radio tower on top of North Twin Cone Peak, we were treated with an outstanding view of the continental divide and mountain ranges as far as the Sangre de Cristos.
The Honey Badger and Travis and Company joined us at the summit. The wind was really ripping so we mainly stayed in our vehicles and took in the view.
Once below treeline, the riot of colors started again and followed us all the way out to the pavement.
The Mighty Red Chili and The Albino Rhino took advantage of a nice day to head up to Wheeler Lake. The beginning of the trail goes under an old ore processing facility.

Up at the end of the road at Wheeler Lake. We had lunch and enjoyed the view while some of The Mighty Red Chili’s passengers walked up to some of the higher mines.

The tunnel went back about 100 feet, turned the corner, and then dead ended.
