A few years ago, Mike and I took off on a road trip with our motorccylces, making a loop around the southeastern corner of Colorado. Part of our trip was a ride over Trail Ridge in Rocky Mountain Park. This two lane road is the highest continuous highway in the United States and reaches a maximum elevation of 12,183 ft (3,713 m). We stopped along one of the scenic pullouts to stretch our legs and take in the view. The peak in the background is Longs Peak, one of the 53 peaks in Colorado over 14,000 ft, and reaches a height of 14,259 ft. Good times!!

Absolutely, beautiful. I look forward to seeing you reconnect with Colorado … whenever you have time to be in town. 🙂

I am looking forward to a trip up into Rocky Mountain Park. My schedule is busy over the next 3 weeks but after that I can venture up there.

Monte,
This is a beautiful photo. I too like to capture people in a scene, experiencing the moment.

I like your timing to capture the man’s wonder, awe, contemplation of the great height.

I am always drawn to photos of people who aren’t relating to the camera. This is an excellent example. I look forward to your photographs of Colorado. I know they will be a treat.
