I drive to work on a beautiful road in colorful Colorado

tamrock · Sep 6, 2016

Today I went over the Cottonwood pass and took my sweet time. On the east side it was cloudy and I stopped to sit by a stream and listen to the sounds. It was so peaceful with the sounds of the running water and the wind in the pines. A soft rain began to come down and added it's unique sound to the harmony of it all. On the west side the clouds broke and made it all a nice trip as we're moving in to Fall here in the Colorado high country. The traffic had tinned out a lot from the last trip I took over this pass and all the campgrounds had very few spots occupied. You should have come down this way today RG instead of going up Independence. I did see a mountain lion along the road in the dark tonight. I'll bet it was out hunting for some little Bambi's as they were everywhere tonight and I really had to keep my eyes peeled to the road because of all the deer by a place called Cimarron, Colorado.

Seeing such nice scenes, why wouldn't everyone take a slower route? That last pic is really beautiful.

Indeed they are VERDE, My favorite scene is when the all the foliage of the trees and shrubs display a variety of many colors and the mountain peaks are dusted with a light touch of fresh snow from the night before. It so picture perfect at that moment in the Rocky Mountains and rare to witness that spectacular combination. Hope I'm up there at that right time and place this fall.
