A Trip Through the Colorado Highlands

Beautiful pics! I've never been much further west than Lawrence, KS. People keep telling me that I have to go to Colorado, and you're pics are adding fuel to that fire. Thanks for sharing!

Great pictures. I've always liked Colorado and could definitely spend a lot of time there. In '03 I touched the southwest corner of the state. The area around Durango is absolutely beautiful.

I've had the privilege of visiting some of the places there, the Rockies are really spectacular, a lot higher than anything we have here.

Thanks for sharing the photos, here's one of mine:

It is easy for me to take the scenery for granted, but when I see someone else showing the awe has come back.

Thanks Greg.

Absolutely fabulous scenery and very interesting captions. That old railway tunnel fascinates me, especially with the daylight at the far end.

Graham, My parents live in Estes Park which is the closest town to where you're picture was taken. I've showshoed the Glacier Gorge trail a couple times.

C152T, lower down in another city park, part of the old rail bed is now a hiking and biking trail while another part is one of the roads into the park and has 2 or 3 tunnels you drive through. I believe the hiking trail also has some tunnels. The one in the picture was part of the highway but became unsafe about 8 years ago so they closed it off and ran the road around it.

Livingston,

What a great outing. Thanks for taking us along.

Cheers

That really takes me back. I was stationed at Ft Cartoon on 1975-78, and went to all those places many times. But I kept waiting for a shot of the kissing camels at the GOG. I assume they are still there? I mean, they already lasted over 250,000,000 years, so what's another 30?
