| Rocky Mountain National Park |

Rick Scheussler and I drove back
through Rocky Mountain National Park on the way back to
St. Louis.
We spent most of one day driving from the west entrance
near Grand Lake to the east entrance near Estes Park. We
did not do any hikes on any of the many trails leading
into the backcountry. There were NO clouds and thus the
photos presented here aren't very good in my opinion.
Short of going into the backcountry, I don't think Rocky
Mountain National Park presents much in the way of nice
photographic opportunities. Its vistas are much TOO VAST
to ever be captured in a single photo composition.
Individual peaks are not in and of themselves very
photogenic either.
Color me spoiled by the Tetons!

I suggested that the Jim Scharff family take this route
on their way from their place in Granby Colorado on
their way to Moab Utah.
As I had never been there either, Rick Schuessler and I
decided to drive this loop as sundown approached. This
is not a road for the faint of heart as it is very
scenic as well as windy with huge drop offs... hard to
concentrate on both at the same time. If we were to do
this road again, we decided that it would feel safer
driving it in a west to east direction.

| Colorado Highway 550 |

It had been quite a few years since I had driven this
road which runs from Durango Colorado to Grand Junction
Colorado. Along the way we stopped in Silverton for
lunch. The road also passes through Ouray Colorado.
For those who do not know, there is a narrow gauge,
steam powered railroad that runs from Durango to
Silverton and back. Silverton is a very picturesque
little town.
To my recollection, this drive used to be referred to as
"The Million Dollar Highway" although we saw no such
signage to confirm this.

We had not planed to visit this National Park but since it was only
17 miles off the road we were traveling, why not?
