With the weather supposed to move in over most of the good places to shoot, the question now becomes where to go what day?

Stan posted on the fall color thread that there is going to be snow above 12,000' on the peaks which should make for some grand shooting.

What's your plan for this week?

I'm heading out early tomorrow and I'm just not sure if I want to go to Maroon Bells first or head straight for the San Juans.

Maroon Bells for me first as the color around Ridgway still needs some time.

Thanks, Jason, now I just need to hear from someone who has seen the Bells in the last 2 days. :biggrin:

Morris, how long you out for? If its convenient, let's meet up. I'm leaving on Weds and I'll be out until next Tuesday.

Here's what the bells look like as of yesterday. Flickr date range searches are a great way to find current conditions in popular places.

I'll be in the Aspen/Marble area until Wednesday morning, then I'm heading to Kebler Pass, then the San Juans, coming back sometime early next week.

Kane, I will be out until Thursday or Friday at least. Definitely, let's try and shoot together! I'll e-mail you my cell phone number. :wavey:

Thanks, Jason. You have helped me decide where to go first! :wavey:

Just got back from Crested Butte/Kebler Pass area today, you guys are in for a treat! I think I'll be back in the area on Thursday or Friday depending on the weather. Best of luck gents.

Joe, I was on Hwy 149 today between Lake City and Creede.
And also up Nellie Creek (Engineer Pass Rd)
Lots of good color, but plenty of bare trees already.
So, Wednesday may be a bit late, especially if this weather brings any wind.
You might want to reroute to the other areas that aren't that far along now.
