Independence Pass
Twin Lakes hike
Maroon Bells
Inter-Laken Ghost Resort - Twin Lakes
This being our last day in the Rockies, there were two more things we just had to take in before leaving the mountains.  No visit to Aspen in the fall is complete without viewing the awesome morning vista of the Maroon Bells.  Until you visit ......... words cannot describe the beauty.  This is definitely God's Country.
Next we headed over Independence Pass, one of the most scenic drives in America.  It leads to the small mountain community of Twin Lakes.  Long before Aspen become the premier destination spot of this region, there was Inter-Laken.    In the late 1800's, located on banks of Twin Lakes, it was considered one of the most attractive tourist resorts in Colorado.  Today a popular hiking trail passes by the turn-of-the-century- ghost resort.
