Photo Thread: La Garita - Morning Shadows - Castle Lakes

Saw a lot of good people at La Garita Fly-In this year. Pilots flew in from 5 different states.The San Luis Valley of Colorado is turning in to a great spot for backcountry flying in Colorado. Overall 32 planes and 75+ people attended. Many thanks to the great hosts of La Garita Creek Ranch, the Trading Post, Celia of Castle Lakes, and Carly & Donnie from Hooper Hot Springs Pool. Additional pictures from the fly-in can be viewed at http://www.flycolorado.org/index.php/ai ... ly-photos/

Those are fantastic photos. It certainly looks like a great place and a great time. The next time we are out that way, we'll have to stop in to the Ranch!

Great pictures, Mtnwest!

Thanks to everyone who made this happen,including Mtnmatt, Mtnwest, Beekeeper, and the rest of the great folks who put a *lot* of sweat and effort into getting the airstrip into shape.

Thanks to the Hooper hot springs staff for rolling out the red carpet for us on a perfect day as well.

Special thanks go to the great folks at La Garita Ranch for opening up their slice of heaven for the rest of us- and providing incredible support for opening the airstrip. I'm looking forward to going back.

Great pictures!

I lost the camera #-o but here are a few from my phone. A wonderful fly-in and an experience I'll never forget flying with my family.
