I had to head to Phoenix, AZ (KDVT) today for what will hopefully be a quick couple-night-stay work project. This time of year finally has the vegetation starting to green up in Colorado and still a little snow hanging out on the mountain tops. I was alone on this trip as my usual sidekick and photographer had to stay home and watch the grandson. Along the way, I started to get bored and took out the trusty old Samsung G3 phone and decided to take a few shots while cruising along at 12,500. The phone doesn't do too bad, and I managed to get some respectable pics. I thought I'd post a few of them here just for grins.
This first one has Pikes Peak just off in the distance. My goal here is to cross Pikes Peak on the North side and then head for Hayden pass.
After passing Pikes Peak, we come up to a valley. Looking to the left, we have Westcliffe, CO. The mountain range in front of me is the Sangre de Cristo.
Looking to the right, off in the distance, we have one of our favorite airports/towns in Colorado - Salida. A bit hard to see in this photo.
Trying to find the "low" spot in the saddle of Hayden pass. 10,709 feet
Couple of shots going through the pass. Why are the passes always so BuMpY??
Still some snow left up here.
After making it through the pass, we can see southwards down the Alamosa Valley. Big and wide it is; who knew there was so much flat land in Colorado.
Looking down the right side of the valley.
A few more to come . . .
