I must admit I have found myself falling into the habit of visiting
Cottonwood Pass when it is most cloudy and rainy... during the afternoons! I'm usually
busy in the morning getting work done and by 2 p.m., I am ready to take a break and do whatever:
Go for a bike ride, hike, take a drive, whatever. Well, once again, clouds had already
rolled in and lightning was sounding in the distance. On this page are some Colorado high altitude photos from the day.
Adjacent Photo: The view of Unnamed 12,500 Foot Peak.
I hiked to its summit earlier this year. |

I walked down past the tundra pool on the Gunnison County side.
I love all the squiggles in this stretch of Cottonwood Pass Road. :) |
 |
The quality of the photo is poor, but here's a shot of some high altitude flowers that way. |
 |
I was sort of playing up there for awhile. ;) |

Back at Cottonwood Pass, a shot with part of the view on the east side of the divide.
This is looking on the Chaffee County side.
Some hikes in this region:
Lost Lake
Mt. Kreutzer
Emma Burr Mountain
Jones Mountain
Turner Peak

And on the way back down, I snapped this photo
of Mt. Yale. It's a really pretty spot!
