FREMONT PASS, COLORADO! Photos Of The Rocky Mountain Scenery - May 13, 2006
 |
I returned to the Fremont Pass area today and from the Lake County side, I snapped this photo. There is much less snow up here!
Here are some of my photos from this region:
Fremont Pass (January 2006)
Summit County, Colorado
Vail Pass, Tennessee Pass
Leadville, Mountains Around Leadville |
 |
The Fremont Pass summit should not to be confused with Fremont County, Colorado, by the way. ;) |
 |
Mt. Democrat sits in the middle with a few buildings of the Climax mine to the left. |
 |
On the Summit County side of the pass, there is an overlook with a large valley. Lots of snow way up here in the Colorado high country! |
 |
Now I had planned to hike the Mayflower Gulch Trail,
but as you can see in this photo, the very beginning of the trailhead was still packed
with quite a bit of snow. I only have mountain boots
and didn't have snow shoes or other
gear to tolerate the snow, so uh, I'll be back in the summer! ;)
Instead, I wound up driving through Copper Mountain, Vail, Eagle and Minturn
and partook in some good photography. More photos are coming! :) |
