Great shot of a beautiful spot, Charlie. There's just no scenery like Colorado scenery. I was out there in the mid 70's and fell in love with the scenery.
A friend and I were going to head up into Colorado on a motorcycle trip in October, 2009. We got into Durango, CO under cold, rainy skies and spent the night. Next morning we checked the weather and they had gotten several inches of snow in Teluride so we decided that discretion was the better part of valor and cut west into Utah instead. We went through Capitol Reef National Park a couple of days later and it was 25 degrees at 10,600' MSL with some snow beside the road (luckily none on the road).
