Bike Ride through Aspen/Sunset

First Aspen picture; this is the valley in which I live.

The following pictures were taken early one morning on my bike ride to school. This is from the front porch of my place looking East.

Front porch North


Down the valley on the bike; use of brakes required.

Snowmass Village. Pop. 2826

Here is the first of several ski mountains on the ride. This one is Snowmass!

I live on the left center part of this picture.


The beginning of the climb back up to where I live. It's not pleasant.

Horses!

The last snow of summer...

Down the valley to Hwy 82.


Does it get any more picturesque?

I ride past this every day--it's a glen that's filled with Aspen trees--I find it gorgeous.
View from the handlebars!

In the Snowmass Valley, there is a narrow strata of rock that runs completely parallel with the ground. Super cool!


Big mountains in the distance.

Here in Aspen they feel it necessary to water the weeds. A lot.

Highway 82 into Aspen.


Sunflowers on the side of the road.


Buttermilk Ski Area (No. 2 of 4 in Aspen area)

Notice the half pipe on the right.

More wildflowers.
