Drive Fort Collins CO to Montecello UT
|
A long day of driving. Leave Fort Collins about 8am for Montecello UT. |
| The classic "first view" of the mountains |
| Up at the tunnels / the Continental Divide |
| A look west just out from the tunnel |
| Copper Mountain |
| Glenwood Canyon |
| Fall colors out west / Rifle area |
| Straight
lines in nature signal man-made. A road cut up a mountain catches my eye. Reviewing maps, this
is not an open-to-the-public roadway (darn). It looks to end at a mine. |
| Out
at Grand Junction spectators were everywhere. I wondered why until I
heard a loud jet and saw smoke trails - a military airshow. |
| First view of the La Sal Mountains. A typical landmark when in the Moab UT area. Very little snow atop them just yet. |
| Taking UT-128 to Moab - the scenic route following the Colorado River |
