Fall color trip 2025, Ohio Creek Valley and Kebler Pass

 We drove north from Gunnison and veered off on to county road 730, angling up to the Kebler Pass road up the Ohio Creek Valley.  The West Elk Wilderness is west of the valley and I’ve accesssed hikes in this area off of this road many times.  The Kebler Pass road forms the north border of the West Elk Wilderness, with the Raggeds Wilderness north of the road.  This area has the largest aspen forest in the lower 48 states and is beautiful year round but particularly in the fall.
