Very nice! I only made it as far as the top because I started out so late and it was so slow going. I had fun though. It actually got windy enough that some of the aspen that were in full color on the way up, were almost bare on the way down.

This shot is from where everybody was waiting for the elk. I saw some in the trees and a herd maybe 500 yards in the distance is all. But there sure were a ton of people with lawn chairs and everything.

I haven't stopped for a full meal in Grand Lake in forever. We ate at a very nice Mexican place in Granby a couple years ago. I'll see if I can look up the name of that. I stopped for dinner in Estes at my favorite place and had some fantastic prime rib. (It was my birthday weekend after all!)
