We also stopped along the Arkansas river. Scenic.
The Rockies keep getting closer.
Going up. Rockies are very close now. It was 84 before we started climbing, but there is snow on the ground here.
Finally - Monarch Pass, 11312 ft above sea level. This is also the Continental Divide.
Jim's GPS receiver says his trunk is actually 11323 ft above sea level.
Over the pass, and things are still scenic. Rocks are here.
Still more snow-capped mountains too.
It was a windy day so tumbleweeds got caught by the guardrail and accumulated.
