If you are camped in the midst of the San Juan Mountains in the fall you will find lots, seriously lots and lots, of great photo opportunities. Fall color generally starts in mid-September and lasts through early October. We are parked at the northern end of the San Juan Skyway Loop. While the loop is great, some of the best opportunities are on side roads. County Road #5 is one of those county side roads. Know before you start off that these are dirt roads, some good and some not so good. You will not be alone on these narrow dirt county roads. This time of year photographers line the small pull-outs, politely pass slowly to keep the dust down and share stories if you ask. The most common questions are: where is it good to find fall color, how is the road, and has the color peaked. Once those questions are discussed we get down to the niceties such as where they are from, what are they doing at this spot and finally we get to the nitty gritty such as gear.
