    Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this weeks video. I just wanted to clarify something quickly. At the end of the video I say "Thank you and I'll see you next year." I was only referring to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains...not the channel. Some of you have misunderstood. I'm not going anywhere! You all are stuck with me. haha See you next Sunday!

    Just when one thinks your adventures can't get any more stunning, they do, along with more great music. I want to say that given the fact that my husband no longer can walk, & I am scheduled for a hip replacement in 2 1/2 weeks, being able to virtually hike with you means so much to us. The 20 to 30 minutes of watching these videos helps relieve some of the pain. Thank you, & please know that what you do helps so many of us experience what we physically cannot. :)

    Your trip reminds me my favorite part of autumn is early. There is more of a range of color that lends more complexity to the beauty. You've captured that wonderfully. It was also very very interesting to see the impact of that one spire peak. If you removed it, then the setting would look like the rest of Colorado. WIth it, the setting becomes surreal! There is one final magical element to add to this scenery. If you are fortunate enough to experience that first light dusting of snow, then scenic perfection is complete. That can be such a gorgeous surprise to wake up to. Catherine, I've seen a lot of wonderful places, but this one is special. Your music selection and timing really plucked the emotion strings. thank you!
