Aspen to Rifle

Departing Aspen-Pitkin County for Rifle, CO. After driving west on highway I-70 so many times, the City of Rifle feels familiar, even though I've never actually stopped there. It's a short hop from Aspen, over the western slope of the Rockies. This snapshot was taken over the mountain ridge just west of Carbondale.

With such a short flight, I forgot to take any other snapshots. This one shows the Baron on the ground at Rifle airport, parked right next to my favorite small aircraft, a Cirrus Vision SF50.
