I couldn't resist this shot in a remote area around Ridgway, CO. An old wagon with Mt. Sneffels looming in the background. It was very windy, but I adjusted my camera settings to "freeze" this shot.

I don't know that Factory Butte is really a mountain, but is it unique? Heck, yeah it is.

On our trip (Nov. 2022) to Zion N.P., i discovered that the rangers had banned standing or stopping on the bridge since the time that I took this photo (when it was legal). I'm hoping that widening the walkway on this short bridge would be worthwhile. It had been a very crowded spot for photographers, so I can understand the ban. This view is called the Watchman.

My favorite mountain, Mt. Sneffels. You know this is Colorado! Worth getting up early & waiting for the sunrise. Bundle up if you come here on a late September's first light.
