There a scenic pull over spot just on the other side of Hagerman Pass, which gives you the view I shared in yesterday's post. This shot is facing 180° in the other direction. The only other people there yesterday sharing the vista with us with were these three, who chose what must be one of the most scenic sledding hills in Colorado. Imagine cruising down this slope with the majestic, snow covered Collegiate Peaks right in front of you!
Life has been excessively stressful the last couple of months. Not to get into personal stuff, but I've had more life upsets since mid-December than I care to deal with in a normal year, let alone two short months. To make things worse, because of these stressors I haven't had much time to get out to the mountains. Finally, yesterday we managed to just get in the car, point it westward, and drive, drive, drive. We got as far as Guanella Pass before we had to turn around. The view was 1000% gorgeous the entire way, and we both felt a lot better by the time we got home. There's nothing like a meander through the mountains to recharge your batteries. Here are the Collegiate Peaks from just beyond the summit of Wilkerson Pass.
Just kidding! I don't think I'm ready to take up wall space at the Met quite yet, but I have to admit that I like this dramatic photo I took of the Collegiate Peaks last weekend.
