We were a little late this year going up into the mountains to hunt for some fall colors. The reason was that we were on vacation until the beginning of October and the weather was bad the first weekend we were back. We missed the fall colors by probably two or three weeks, but we still managed to find some.

The weather was supposed to be okay for a hike, although not nice enough to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. We opted to go to Lory State Park while our Colorado State Parks pass was still valid. We had hiked Arthur's Rock in the past, so we knew what to expect.

The hike was 3.6 miles round trip and took a total time of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It had a total elevation gain of 1,100 feet.
