Due to work, travel and weather I've been grounded since early November. Absolutely miserable and unacceptable. Fortunately, the stars aligned today... I didn't need to go to work and the weather in Colorado is absolutely perfect. So I launched in my 8 at about noon to do some snowy sightseeing around Denver.
First I headed south. This is one of many buttes that dot the landscape between Denver and Colorado Springs.
Heading back north now. Interesting rock formations near Palmer Lake between the plains and the foothills.
Looking over the nose at the hogbacks that separate the mountains from the plains around here.
Hogbacks and rock formations.
Snow-covered Mount Evans in the distance. More rock formations in the foreground.
Next I climbed to 10,000' MSL and headed into the foothills. Here's a closer look at Mt. Evans.
Looking northwest at the high peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Looking the other direction over the Front Range with downtown Denver in the distance.
Descending towards Golden. Coors brewery is the clump of big buildings between the mesas.
Flying over Denver on the way home.
Ahhh, what a great way to start the year and a great way to get back up in the air again!
Happy New Year, RVers!
