Chalk Creek

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I shot a wedding last Saturday at the Mount Princeton Hot Springs, which is located in the Collegiate Peaks, near Buena Vista. Since it's a good 100 miles away, I decided to drive up the night before and do a little exploring. About 13 miles up the road from the resort is a bona fide ghost town called St. Elmo. After checking in to my suite, I decided to try and locate it, even though daylight was waning. Halfway there I had to stop to take a picture of Chalk Creek, which tumbles down Mount Princeton and feeds the Arkansas River. It's so pretty! The photo above is looking downstream, and the photo below is looking upstream. Lovely!
