The Cache La Poudre River was named by trappers after a cache of gunpowder that had been stored there. It has been designated as a National Wild and Scenic River by the National Park Service. This first visit along the scenic byway took place on October 19, 2002. A dry spring and summer had left the river level significantly lower than usual, and allowed for some wonderful reflections. It was an excellent time to capture the fall colors.
These pictures were taken on September 13, 2003.
These were taken six days later on September 19, 2003. I couldn't resist another trip with the aspen just beginning to turn to their fall colors.
These nature photographs from Cache La Poudre Scenice Byway were taken on May 21, 008. It was a partly cloudy day and somewhat hazy day. I only made it part of the way through the canyon before I met up with rain storms and had to abandon the trip.
