Mosquito Pass...13,125 feet!

On the way home from Vail Valley we decided to take Mosquito Pass home...from Leadville over to Alma...this picture doesn't give the depth perception nor the size of the mountains before us...
Definitely a 4wd Babe...
This is the highest pass in Colorado...and will soon be closed due to the snow...today it was about 45 degrees at around 2 pm.

A shelf road...with precipitous declines...

This is actually the highest elevation point Linda has been...my second...

I love this...
Barren...almost like another planet up here...
Lunar feel....


Most mines in Colorado have been closed and barricaded...these look as if they haven't gotten to...If Robert were with me...he would be over there poking his head down the hole if not completely in it!




Crazy looking plant...looks like something out of "the Little Shop of Horrors"!



Actually allot of Jeep roads up here...could spend all day up here exploring...and if I had a metal detector...

Old Mining equipment....

Our version of what is old....



Another VRBO property for Robert...

All in all...a great trip...!!
