High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

On Monarch Pass


This is the Old Monarch Pass road, which crosses the continental divide about half a mile north of the newer pass on Highway 50. It's a popular place for a short cross country ski trip, and that's what I did today.



A photograph I took this afternoon from the summit of Monarch Pass, looking northeast toward the southern end of the Collegiate Peaks. Some of the ski runs at the Monarch Ski and Snowboarding Area are visible from here.

Tom, That almost looks like one of our school vans in the left of the Monarch photo...wouldn't that have been interesting timing?
Thanks A

Hi Anrahyah! I don't think it was, but you never know where you might see me photographing!

Hey Tom,
Thanks for taking the time to write down your blog for me when I saw you in the bank. Enjoyed skimming through some of the pictures.
