The colors appear to be changing early this year, but the trees look vibrant and full, as if they will withstand the first strong wind or rainstorm. Maybe it was because we were on the west side of the divide where the trees have more moisture.
Today we hiked up to the remains of Lulu City, a deserted mining town near the headwaters of the Colorado River. The river is just a tiny stream up here, but a couple hundred folks followed their dream to this valley.
Although the site is gorgeous, very few artifacts remain. A few logs from a foundation here, a depression in the ground over there, a ditch that might have channeled the water from a nearby stream. And a trail that was used for daily stage coach travel from Grand Lake to Ft Collins.
