Fall Colors of the Colorado Rockies from the Air | Mountain Flying

Autumn is at it's peak in the next couple weeks, an ideal time to see the Rockies. I was up flying today in the Roaring Fork Valley, and boy the colors are amazing.  9 News said the colors are at peak next weekend.  This is a great time to fly the Colorado Rockies and see the beauty.  Here's a shot I got just south or Highway 82 in the Roaring Fork.  Eagle County Regional Airport is in the heart of the Colorado Rockies and is an excellent base to explore the rockies and see the fall colors.  If you've never flown in the mountains consider taking a trip to eagle and combine your trip with some mountain flight instruction.
