2025 San Juan's & Yampa Bench Road

Day 1 for the trip - drive from Fort Collins to camp - Down on the Hop Farm. The group is to gather this afternoon / evening to be ready as a group tomorrow morning.










Southbound on I-25 approaching Denver. On a clear day, Pike's Peak can be seen. With the forest fire haze - not a change to see it today.




Looking clear up near the Eisenhower-Johnson Tunnels




Near Dotsero - looking thick.




Glenwood Canyon - not too often am I rolling through with a train.




West of Glenwood Springs - haze is quite thick.




Out of the canyons, nearing Grand Junction. Fortunately the air looks clear.  We hope to have clear air for crisp views of the beautiful mountain scenery.




Down At The Hops Farm campground. Recommended.




Tomorrow, we'll be up in those mountains
