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.
Mt. Rainier in July still had snow.
Old lodgepole fence with the San Juans as the backdrop. We used 4WD 4Runner to navigate the bumpy road to get here.
Sunrise on the Cascades in Olympic N.P.'s Hurricane Ridge. No hurricanes this day, just a few deer grazing.

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.
