Colorado fall colors

I drove to Telluride today from Cortez and the colors are not that good yet,
maybe 30% yellow in many places. Snow on the high peaks, maybe above 11,000 ft
or so. More bare patches than last year, which was of course a phenomenal
year.

I'll be looping over to Ridgway, Ouray, Silverton and the Durango Mt Ski area
tomorrow and will post a follow up if I have a net connection in Durango.

I'd wait a week or so if trying to time peak colors, at least for this part of
the San Juans. Often it's better earlier on the Ouray side though, will know
more tomorrow.
