Sara and I decided we needed to go over Independance Pass once more before she left Colorado. So, on Saturday October 16, we set out to do just that...
Colorado - see that circle? that is the area where Independance Pass is. It is usually closed by this time of year. Because of snow.

Kenosha Pass, Colorado - we wanted to follow the old railroad tracks into the woods, until we heard a "BOOM!".....
...and even though neither of us look like moose, we weren't wearing orange and didn't want to risk an inexperienced hunter's excited shooting....

My wife and I lived in Durango for several years, passing over Red Mountain pass to Telluride many times (Wolf Creek Pass twice). My wife hated those drives, winter or summer.
Beautiful pics KM - I'd never been to Molly Brown's Leadville before. Cool old buildings.
It seems a lot of people are posting about CO the past week -

My grandfather had a ranch in North Park (Walden) area for many years. Colorado will always be a huge chunk of my heart!
I am so glad you all liked the photos - there is one more installment coming with the actual trip up over Independance Pass. Hopefully you will enjoy that one just as much. :)
thank you all!
