Forest Road 224

Known only as FR224, this two-track path leads past Badger Spring and back to civilization.  A dense grove of aspen trees, grown crooked from wind and snow, stands starkly outlined.  Jupiter leaves the scene at center, and Orion rises over the eastern sky, brightly lit by the lights of Colorado Springs reflected from high clouds over the Front Range.
