This past weekend we headed to southwestern Colorado for some biking, hiking, and leaves. We drove down to Lake City Friday night and camped just outside the town. Saturday morning started with coffee at Mean Jean's Coffee House in Lake City.

When it finally warmed up, it probably dropped into the 30's overnight, we headed out on a bike ride. First we passed Lake San Cristobal, formed by a massive mudslide many years before.

The top of Slumgullion Pass was anticlimatic after the views on the way up.

But, the views on the way down were amazing.

It wasn't all downhill, we had another pass to climb. This one was a little lower.

A friendly Texan called out to Kyle at the top of this pass "Are you waiting for her? She's having some trouble getting up the hill, but she's not that far behind." He found this hysterical.

After some 'recovery' ice cream...

we headed to Creede.

We had tacos and margaritas at Kip's Grill...it was just like the Kip's in Pagosa. Delicious!

We camped in Creede.

And then headed out for a hike.
