| partners | | Me, Addie & Bianca started our day trip by first driving the entire Swift Trail to Clark Peak.
We then hit the short CP Flat Loop for a walk through the Aspen grove. Always a beautiful trail anytime of the year!
Next up we backtracked in the truck down to Riggs Lake for a picnic and hike around the lake along the Lakeshore Trail, The lake was very calm, quiet & scenic on this day.
Then a drive down the Swifty to Grant Hill for the clockwise loop to end the day, trail looked great and will always be one of my favorites for the aspen lovin!
Autumn colors were a mix on this trip. The front side of the mountain going up is just starting to turn in places. The backside up high had some peak aspens, but mostly "off color" or bare trees for this time of the year. 3rd year in a row these autumn colors have been "off" to me on top.
Wildlife on the drive up/down and hiking was fantastic on this day -
12 Deer
25 Turkeys
10 Abert's Squirrel
1 endangered Mt Graham Red Squirrel (Grant Hill)
And a Bald Eagle at Riggs Lake !!!
