Peak To Peak Scenic Byway — Attraction in Estes Park

So the key to this visit is getting the right directions. I was disappointed with the route Google took me. Not many Fall colors until I reach Estes Park. More were found on the way down. Also more pullouts were available going down for photos than going up

I didn't go back to Denver on the way home but visited Erie, Colorado.
