When I went hiking in the Colorado Rockies last September with two of my brothers we drove from Denver, where they picked me up at the airport, to Aspen, near our destination along Highway 82 and through Independence Pass. The day was overcast and not the best for photos but we had a nice time catching up with each other.

Last September I went hiking with two of my brothers in the Colorado Rockies near Aspen. They drove out from Michigan, picked me up at the airport in Denver and we drove to a campground south of Aspen where we stayed for a couple of days before hiking. On the way to Aspen we drove Highway 82 through Independence Pass, stopping a number of times for photos. It was not the nicest of days with heavy clouds obscuring most of the peaks, but we had a nice drive and time to catch up with each other.
