Hairpin Turns on Berthoud Pass
A cool aerial photo of hairpin turns near the saddle of Berthoud Pass. Berthoud Pass is a scenic mountain drive through the Rocky Mountains, and is located directly on U.S. Highway 40, just north of the junction with I-70. This photo was taken from my drone on a late spring evening when traffic was moderate.
Resting in a Continental Divide Alpine Meadow
How about resting in an alpine meadow off the Continental Divide in the Colorado Rockies? Well Teig was doing just that on a hike to Skyscrapper Peak. This does relax the soul.
Teig Resting below Jicarita Peak
On our hike up to Jacarita Peak, we had a short layover on the trail above Serpent Lake. The views were amazing on this jaunt up the Sangre de Cristos in northern New Mexico. The aspen leaves were turning to their autumn orange and gold. It was not a bad place to rest and take in the colors.
