We left the Denver metro area around 11:00 a.m. and it took us about 4 hours to get to our first stop: the San Luis State wildlife area for an overnight stay.Note: most photos by Martha in this post.

Long day driving today, at least 6 hours on the road, but we finally got to the Valley of the Gods around 3:30 p.m.
My preferred spot was not available so we took second choice spot by the Lady in the Bathtub:
We will be here till this coming Monday, hopefully we will get a good view of the upcoming lunar eclipse on Saturday.
I don't know if we will try and shoot the eclipse itself; there is after all a crew from some museum in San Francisco who's bogarted a large area on the east side of the valley for themselves, promising to stream in real time the eclipse.

There was gorgeous Fall Colors displayed on CO Hwy 160 as we approached and negotiated Wolf Creek Pass near Pagosa Springs, CO:

I'll be adding a video of clips shot by Martha as we drove towards and through Wolf Creek Pass once we find a spot with good signal.

Looking forward to seeing your shots of the ecilpse. We'll miss it this year.
I love the rock formation "Lady in the bathtub". It kinda leaves a permanent impression, opposite to an "insert name of random person" peak. Cheers, SonjaM
I heard that VOTG was getting to be too crowded by the weekend with all of the eclipse viewers. I settled for watching one of the many live streams.
CCjon, no video of the eclipse..am sure there's plenty of sources online with the right gear.
RichardM, I am sure you got a better view of the eclipse than we did "live".... We did not even get a noticeable darkening at all.
Thanks for the comment SonjaM, I agree ...
