Waited out the weekend crowd then headed to the hills to take in natures fall color display. We explored Lincoln Creek near Independence Pass looking for a place to hangout for the evening before heading to the Maroon Bells the next morning. We found a glorious little gem of an area, maybe my favorite Vanski site to date! Came with its own 4x4 rock slab driveway, rendering it inaccessible to many vehicles. It also came with its own narrow canyon with swimming holes and waterfalls!
