In an attempt to tackle a 14er in early September, we were thwarted by weather. We started Mt. Princeton (14,197 ft) early in the morning, but a nasty looking snow storm turned us back around 13,400 feet. Alas, the aspens were still pretty and we had fun anyway!

Lonny captured more of the changing aspens, which of course, wouldn't be considered art.
