Such amazing pictures in this thread! Just overwhelming with all the natural beauty. Wow! Sadly my photography skills are SO lacking compared to you all. But you give me something to strive for!
I also really love how seeing the same place under different time, weather and circumstances can totally change the feel or effect of the location. Obviously seeing a mountain in summer versus winter does that but here's one that jumped out at me as well as my time there was very different....
Here's Ophir Pass from Mad Matt's post:
And here's what it looked like when I went through it...
So cool to see it so differently. I prefer Matt's version to mine! ha!
Some others from that same trip...
Alta ghost town. This really makes me wonder how miners survived the winters up here
Lake Como near Hurricane and California Passes
And as my son said....mickey mouse. Ha!
A storm rolled in and as we got to Hurricane Pass I was not sure which way to go. Not wanting to get on a wrong track I went to scout it out. My wife was not happy with three kids at elevation and me disappearing into the fog.
But I found the right route and pretty soon we were back below the clouds to enjoy the views
