For the rest of October I’ll try to post as many color overload photos as I can. This week I took a drive through a few places in Colorado and took a few pictures. These days were mostly sunny and lighted it all up.
The first twoi somewhere in San Juan Mountains. Last one from today hike up to Mount Sanitas. My 150th for this year.
Hope everyone having a splendid day, just like I had it today. Did Ouray Via Ferrata before lunch, and then nice time at Orvis Hot Springs while it stormed in Ouray in the afternoon. It is time to make some fire.
Switzerland of USA. Ouray Colorado. I am planning on doing Via Ferrata tomorrow morning in that canyon. Fantastic activity. Then perhaps hit Orvis hot springs.
Earlier this week, before the first big snow in the high country. From the slopes of Mt Columbia (my 30th 14er!) to the right is Mt Yale and to the left is Mt Princeton…well it is covered by what looks like a light snow cloud.
When I got back to my car, the engine light indicated issues and it was working at reduced power. I drove back to Boulder, barely doing 40-50 mph on uphill sections and took it to the dealership, thinking that there is something wrong with the engine. After inspecting the car they discovered that electric wire to 3rd cylinder was chewed by the rodent! Adding insult to the injury, after they fixed the the wires and I got car back, I heard some fan noise in the air conditioning filter area. After looking at it, I discovered that half of the filter was chewed up and there was some rodent poop on top of it. The Fng thing somehow got into the ventilation system! I replaced it with a new filter and ran the engine for while, hoping that it is gone… the next morning more poop. So then I started spraying it with disinfecting Lysol, multiple times… it is second day now without any poop… hopefully it decided to leave the car and make Boulder its new home…
Sunset time at one of the highest places in Colorado. Mt Harvard is the 3rd highest, barely 3 foot lower than Massive and 14 lower than Elbert.
Looking south into the Horn Fork Basin in the foreground and in the background you can see Mt Yale in the center and to the left is Mt Princeton.
The coyote pictures you saw in my previous post were taken at the level of the lake (Bear Lake) below.
