Greetings fellow nature lovers and travelers! It's been a while since I blogged and with good reason. This spicy girl decided that life wasn't interesting enough and that being a trapeze artist might be my calling. Well.....that didn't pan out very well. I'm writing this sporting a brand new hip, courtesy of a small slip in judgement. Seems my mobility scooter can be drunk, I mean tipsy, I mean the dang thing falls over! That was seven weeks ago and this is my first outing since a three week hospital stay, but getting back on that horse and putting my accident in the rear view mirror is what I'm doing.
This week, we embarked on a journey to the beautiful mountain town of Crested Butte Colorado to discover the incredible beauty of Colorado's Aspen trees. While Vermont may be renowned for its maples, Colorado's Aspens hold a charm and allure all their own, especially during the beautiful fall season.
Discovering the Enchantment of Colorado's Aspens
As a disabled traveler seeking the perfect destination to witness nature's grandeur, look no further than the Colorado mountains.
