    Rocky Mountain National Park The traffic in this park is very heavy. I visited during the week and it was still very busy. They told me that on the weekends the traffic is worse. If you get in through the Estes Park entrance, there is a dirt road that is 12 miles long and very scenic. Any type...

    Yesterday was a super busy day. I went and spent the whole day drivong at Rocky Mountain National Park. On my way there, I used a scenic route that has this church on it. It is a historic site and it was built in 1927 and the Pope has even visited it. A very small church built on rocks. I asked...

    Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for taking the time to read my road trip. The drone pictures truly gives a different perspective. I enjoy the views I get when I am flying, even when not taking pics yet. Bit looking at some things from a different perspective is truly nice. And when some...

    Yup, you are right. I cannot believe how often and normal the announcement is being made in the trains for people to watch out for pick pockets.

    Wow. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this and reviving my road trip of 2 years ago. That was and is still my best road trip ever. Had the most fun and saw the most natural things that had me saying wow too much. Definitely worth a visit from some of us in the US who can make time to...

    Today, I drove from Ouray to Longmont, passing through Aspen to drive on and visit Independence Pass and the Continental Divide. I was happy to get to Aspen but I want to go visit Maroon Bells, but the process was just complicated. Basically, you can drive up to the lake only between the hours...

    And this is all about the ghost town of Crystal. Nothing to see. They have a store there that it seems visitors do not buy much from. I am surprised people still live there.

    Yesterday, I decided to visit Crystal Mill in the ghost town of Crystal. It is claimed that this is the most photographed thing in Colorado. I don't particularly believe that based on how hard it is to get there. And it is the only thing out there worth seeing plus I don't know if it is private...

    You are so true a out Houston is truly not that bad when you compare it to a place like Arizona. It can get truly hot there indeed.

    Next trail, the other part of Black Bear Pass. Driving up to Bridal Fall Veil. Just exactly where the trail is also impassable because of snow still on the road. You can see the snow in the first 2 pictures that is preventing Black Bear Pass to be open. But overall, amazing views throughout the...

    Next trail I had in mind was Cockscrew Gulch, California Pass and Hurricane Pass. The people in Jeep who met me on Black Bear Pass told me they did those trails the day before and that there was mud and some very sketchy places that they would worry a lot with my long wheel base and me mit...

    Yesterday, I left Mesa Verde National Park and hit the road for Ouray. Nice drive. Got to town and went for dinner and went straight to bed after that. Today was dedicated to some serious offroading and lord, it did not disappoint. Well, I always find people who cannot believe it when they see...

    Amazing National Park. Very long drive from the entrance to the cliff dwellings. The road is very scenic with great pullout overlooks. You will love it if you go. In the museum, you find these representations of how those people build their homes in the cliffs. And here are the remains of...

    Next stop that Saturday evening was to Mesa Verde National Park. I got there when the lady at the entrance was closing and she said if you hurry up, you will get to Sunset Point overlook and see the most amazing sunset ever! She was not telling a lie. All I could do was stand there and gaze in...

    And just in case anybody was wondering how Four Corners looks from Eagle's eye view. I asked the security guy there if I could fly my drone. He said sure, as long as I do not take it over the Monument and over people. I said cool. I took my drone to him and asked if I could launch where he was...

    From Monument Valley, I got into Colorado and stopped at Four Corners. My odometer turned to 140,000. Such a milestone and still going strong. I had to take a pic! Oh, don't worry about it being in Neutral. Some times I throw the car into Neutral when I am coasting down some hills. I could...
