It is 6+ miles west of Ridgway Colorado on CO-62. You can’t miss it. On most any fall day you will see cars parked on the side of the highway and photographers lined up taking pictures.

Marshall Pass and O’Haver Lake, Colorado
iPhone photos of Marshall Pass and O’Haver Lake
The road over Marshall Pass is one of my favorite fall color drives in Colorado. All but four of these photos were taken on the road over Marshall Pass with a short side trip to O’Haver Lake. O’Haver Lake is a favorite place for me. When I was growing up our family went there every summer to camp. Two years ago today I drove over Marshall Pass from east to west with a side trip to O’Haver Lake. The thumbnails on my iPhone created such a nice collection of photos that I did two screen captures to get all 90 of these images. My phone labeled the first screen capture Salida which is a small town near the beginning of my trip. My phone labeled the second screen capture Saguache, a small town south of Marshall Pass.

25 Years Ago Today
It was 25 years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was working in my office. The family/TV room was right around the corner. The phone rang and I picked it up. “Stop whatever you are doing and turn on the TV.” I walked around the corner and turned it on.
