The Peak to Peak Highway and the area around Allenspark is absolutely beautiful right now. The leaves in Rocky Mountain National Park will probably be peaking this weekend just in time for Elk Fest.

Driving to and from Allenspark the colors are breathtaking. If you aren't taking the time to go to the Meadow Mountain Cafe to eat and enjoy the drive, you should be.

If you have your camera, it is very difficult to make any kind of time on the drive because you are always stopped taking pictures.

I have sometimes referred to the weather on particular days as being a "Chamber of Commerce" day. We say that because it just doesn't get any better. This week we've had a whole week of that kind of weather. The "Autumn Gold" celebration was a huge success and the weather is going to continue through the entire week and through the "Elk Fest" celebration.
Have a great day
