...South central Colorado in the Weminuche Wilderness/San Juan National Forest (between Creede (http://www.creede.com/city-of-creede.html) and Platoro (http://www.coloradodirectory.com/platoro/)).

Was there last week, on a backpacking and flyfishing trip with a buddy. Weather and scenery were awesome, but the weight of my backpack/body and thin air at altitude made me realize how out of shape that I am. Here are a few pics:

Nice meadow with a ton of dandelions

Backcountry camping site - set on a nice soft bed of pine needles

Another alpine meadow, and some of the late season snow which delayed the start of our trip

Grove of tall aspen trees

My rod, reel, and a nice rainbow trout that I caught
(it went back into the creek right after I took the pic -- catch and release!)

Me, waders, boots, and a big rock

Awesome morning view, just around the corner from one of our campsites
