Below Independence Pass This look at the back side of the mountains that make Independence Pass help to show how rugged this country is. As we drove the trail to see where it would go, we found that it ends at the bottom of this bowl. We found no way out, but it was...
Winter Sleep in the Rockies Life high up in the Rockies is a challenge for all types of life. I am always in awe when I see the elk, the deer, the fox and all of the wildlife that are existing in this harsh country. But you also have to consider the plants as well....
The Majestic Bald Eagle There is no bird in the US that intrigues me more than the Bald Eagle. I love all the birds of prey, but the Bald Eagle is my favorite. This one was found just north of Buena Vista, Colorado. It was a true treat for...
Storm Hangin’ Over The Mosquitoes This view of the Mosquito range is found about 15 minutes north of Leadville. As you drive north on Hwy. 91 out of Leadville, you are treated to many wonderful views that demonstrate the beauty of God’s creation. This spot...
Rugged Rocky Mountains More of the Sangre De Cristo range. Linda took this shot and I like the way that you can see the ruggedness that is so characteristic of the Rocky Mountains. You find this all over Colorado and so many other parts of the Rockies too. It is...
Snow Capped Peaks More of the Sangre De Cristos north of Alamosa. These snow capped peaks with the clouds at the top and blue skies above all overlooking the valley below makes for a stunning scene. Colorado in winter is certainly one of God’s greatest...
Life at the Foot of the Sangre De Cristos The Sangre De Cirstos of Colorado lie just north of Alamosa, Colorado as one boundary of the San Luis Valley. Whenever we travel Hwy. 17 we are taken aback by the beauty of these mountains, and they are especially striking in...
Cold In The Forest This little snippet of forest is not far from Fremont Pass on Hwy. 91 in the Colorado Rockies. Also, only about 15 miles from Leadville and our home. Linda looks at this every time we go past and especially in the winter. She loves the look, the way...
Snowy Mt. Massive As you look west (and a little south) from Leadville, you will see Mt. Massive and Mt. Elbert….. at least, they are what will stand out. More of our 14,000 foot peaks. This view shows Mt. Massive covered with snow along with the space between...
Mayflower Gulch This amphitheater is at the end of a hike from Hwy. 91. Although we haven’t made the hike yet, it is certainly on our list. I think the problem is that it’s too close to the house…. only about 15 miles. But, we have friends from our...
