Cameron Pass with Snow Flocked Pine Trees
| Out for a Sunday ride. A few days back I heard that Route 14 was closed at Cameron Pass (10276 ft) due to an avalanche. It must be open by now - Let's see how big it was! |
| Most of the trip was on clear and dry roads. Up higher the snow was deeper and the road was coated with snow. |
| Over the pass and heading down the western slope. The weather looks ominous though what is there is spotty and thinly veiled. |
| The trees were well coated with fresh white powder. While no photos of the outdoor activity people are in the set - each pull-out had a good handful of cars. People with snowboards hiking to a favorite hill. |
| See, there is blue sky about |
| I've turned back and am heading up the western slope. |
| Two of the three avalanches. The farthest slide is likely what closed the highway for a day or two. It was smaller than I imagined it would be. |
| The slide and where it came from. |
| Mmmmmm.... |
| About 10 miles later, down from the top, the roads were clear and dry with little snow at the sides. |
