It’s been a very interesting, very busy summer, with virtually no time to get away to the hight country. But, I still had to go. I called Gregg after I saw his pictures from last weekend, and asked if he was interested in a quick trip to Guanella Pass. This trip is talked about all the time, and I highly recommend that nobody take it. It was like being in a parade. There were too many people in too many cars and barely any color. But we found some pictures anyway…
I’ll be the first to admit that we’re a little spoiled. Our photo group has taken yearly trips down to the South-central and South-West Colorado (Ten Mile Range, the San Juans, etc) and although we weren’t expecting the equivalent, we were expecting some color. We continued over the pass, past the old defunct Geneva Basin ski area, and turned right on road ???, if nothing more just to see where it would go.
Here’s a Google Earth KMZ record of the trip.
There were some nice colors, but not of the fall type. There were a lot of minerals in in the creek beds, which led to some unusual water shots. As is always the case, regardless of the fact that we went looking for trees, and ended up shooting water, it was far better than not going at all…
Here’s a link to Gregg’s pictures. Mine are below.
