Day 6- Continued again......
We headed to Williams pass after seeing that the Tunnel was not open - Williams Pass Trail is rare in Colorado for the fact that it's only open from Aug 1st -to- Aug 31st, so we were lucky for the opportunuty to have traveled it.
The trailhead from this side is VERY easy to miss, but look for the trailhead signs on the East side of the road, right near the Palisades.
Nice views in the meadow on the way up
Pano from the top of Williams Pass
And of course, great views coming down the pass as well.
From Williams Pass we headed to Hancock Pass
Unfortunately I didn't get many shots from Hancock because the Jeep was trying to overheat due to using the A/C which I had to use because my drivers side window stopped going down at Alpine Tunnel!
From Hancock, we were headed to Tomichi Pass - The tiny looking road headed up the far mountain range here across Brittle Silver Basin.
The road down Hancock
Can you spot the Jeep?
