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 windy, but I adjusted my camera settings to "freeze" this shot.  Almost lost my hat!


Mt. Rainier in July still had snow.


Old lodgepole fence with the San Juans as the backdrop.  We drove our 4WD 4Runner to navigate the bumpy road..


Sunrise on the Cascades in Olympic N.P.'s Hurricane Ridge.  No hurricanes this day, just a few deer grazing.


Famous Maroon Bells near Aspen.  Officials have roped off areas so I was unable to get a shot close to the lake.  You have to adapt to man-made conditions as well as what the light & weather present.  Make a reservation well in advance to see Maroon Bells at it's peak (pun intended) which is usually in late September.


The sunrise view from Hurricane Ridge in Olympic N.P.


 San Juan tapestry just south of Silverton, CO.


Impressive Mt. Wilson catches morning light in Colorado.


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 from the bridge (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.


Iconic Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.  Early morning light before bunches of people arrive for an outing.
