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...

Since yesterday was my last night in Ouray, I decided to go and take my last pictures at some overlooks overlooking the town and a waterfall. And this is basically the whole town of Ouray And a few pictures from Box Canyon waterfall

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.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read it.

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...

And these are the few I like from the bunch I got at Monument Valley, UT. Amazing views.

I left Page, AZ this morning for Monument Valley, UT. With final destination being Cortez, CO.

Last night in Page, I did Lone Rock. This morning, I went to Horseshoe bend at 6am. They open at 4:30am. Drones are not allowed there, but I read on the internet that some people are taking the chance at a specific time to fly there. They say you can go there between 4:30am to 6:00am and you...

When I was done with the parks, it was time to hit the road for Page, AZ. Halfway through the journey is Cameron Trading Post. Definitely make a stop here. It is well worth it. Great place to stop and eat. I stopped and ordered a fried bread to go. I tried to eat it while driving and doing...

Next stop was Wupatki National Monument Thia is a panoramic shot of basically all what this part of the park is all about. This small to walk around and look at the historic ruins. This is a closer pic if the most visited structure And this is how the park people think the buildings may have...

Next stop was Sunset Crater Volcano. While it was not too exciting, there is a senior citizen who volunteers there and is very passionate about his job. He has a wealth of knowledge to share to any listening ear. He would talk to you like he was an Engineer and a Geologist. But good thing he...
