Getting this bluebird fall day started on the Lily Lake Trail

We chose to descend a sporty gully instead of talus hopping down our ascent route
It was important to descend one at a time to avoid knocking rocks on each other

Not a bad place to be
Cool colors below Huerfano
A little more talus hopping before getting back to the trail
