After my conference in Vegas last year, I went for the touristy road trip to Grand Canyon. This year, after doing some research, I decided to travel a bit northern to the famous Bryce Canyon in Utah. Despite what its name suggests, Bryce Canyon is actually NOT a canyon. Wikipedia calls it a collection of giant natural amphitheaters and I couldn't agree more to that definition. Its red sedimentary rocks are very distintictive and so are the natural arches that you can find throughout its amphitheaters. Weather and water streams errod the red rocks forming natural arches, like the one in my picture. As time passes these natural bridges collapse to create the famous rock formation of hoodoos (which I will show in detail in a future post). Bryce Canyon, being a bit remote compared to Zion National Park or Grand Canyon, is a nice destination for hiking, 4wheeling or other sports and by being as remote as it is, it doesnt get the same crowds as the other parks. Perfect if you want to be close to nature and not deal with tons of tourists.

The road we were on has water deep enough to bury 35" tires.

Another landscape image from our November trip to Ouray and the wilderness of the San Juan Mountains. Anyone who has been there before knows the immense beauty of the area, but when you watch these amazing clouds ... wow! I honestly don't think that I could have asked for nicer clouds. :-)
Being so close to fabulous areas such as this is such a bonus to living in CO. It seriously invigorates the soul and makes you thirsty for adventure and exploration of areas unknown. We have a lot of "catching up" to do too. LOL
Thanks for stopping by to view and appreciate the sharing of your thoughts too.

New blog post will be published tonight in the next hour or 2. Check it out if you get a chance.
This is Eureka Gulch. It is located off of the Animas Forks Ghost Town Road. It is an easy road, but you do experience a quick elevation change, which is really why you need to have a 4wheel drive vehicle to drive it. Without it you really put a lot of stress on your brakes, and that isn't something you want to do in the mountains.
Hope to be back here the end of September.
Driving around Mud Lake during wildfire season. Sometimes visibility in the smoke was very limited.
Weekend trip with Mat.
One of the typical beach houses in the four-wheel-drive area in Corolla, NC (OBX). Not the house we stay in, we wouldn’t all fit!
This is Crystal Lake near Ironton Colorado. Didn't have any clouds that morning, but the reflections were still good.
I always stop here on my way to Ironton. Ironton is where Corkscrew Gulch trail starts. After Corkscrew I do Hurricane Pass, California Pass and end at Animas Forks Ghost Town. THIS IS MY FAVORITE DRIVE!
This was shot on Engineer Pass Road on the Lake City side. The aspens in this are were further along than other area I saw. I was probably a little early this year, but that is the way it goes.
Still had a good time this year, maybe next year will be better.
this is Britney, she likes long drives through the mtns, going to the dog park and sunsets. her turn ons are deep snow, wide open freeways and the wind through her hair. turn offs include traffic, mud and bad parkers
This was shot from California Pass. You can see Hurricane Pass in the reddish area in the upper left center. The road on the left is the one I drove from Hurricane Pass to California Pass.
Where I shot this is around 13,000 feet. Even without good light, this is still one of the best views in the San Juans.
This is another photo of my favorite spot.
I am really posting this so I could post a link that shows the roads I drive in the San Juans. It has great music and the drone pilot is incredible.

This was shot from Corkscrew Gulch Trail. This area is one of my favorite views on this trail. Actually it is one of my favorite views in the San Juans.
Hope you get to see it live someday.
Nothing like prime time in Colorado when she shows her colors. Beautiful scenic views on back-country four wheeling dirt roads above Gold Hill and Boulder Colorado.

This is Eureka Gulch which is a road that forks off from the Animas Forks to Silverton road. It is a really easy road and has many mine artifacts. Beautiful road to drive.
This is a view from Corkscrew Gulch Road. The notch in the mountains in the middle of the photo is Hurricane Pass.
I didn't get to do Hurricane Pass this year. I was taking my son's family to the mountains and she is pregnant and couldn't risk taking her on really rough roads. Still got to see some beautiful areas and they really enjoyed the area.
I shot this from Imogene Pass Road. This pass road starts in Telluride. You actually start out driving on roads behind houses of the town. Imogene Pass is not a road for beginners.
In this picture you can Bridal Veil falls. In the left center near the red spot is Ingram Falls. Right below the top Ingram Fall, you will see the start of Black Bear Pass Road, and you can see the switchbacks down the mountain. Black Bear is another dangerous road, and should only be done by very experienced drivers. Two people went over the side this year in a jeep, survived, but most don't.
This one of the classic views of Telluride. Hope you enjoy it and hope you understand the warnings about these roads.
This is an area that is located between Corkscrew and Hurricane Pass. Most people drive by it, as I did for many years. I never miss it now.
People always ask why go to the same area all the time, and the reason is, I always discover something new. The San Juans are a huge area to explore, so even after 20 years, I still haven't seen it all.
I love the desert in the summer! Most people dread and hate the 100+ temps but the rewards of the most gorgeous sunsets on Earth make up for it. It is monsoon season for us so there are usually afternoon clouds and brilliant color sunsets. This is the view from our back porch. Unfortunately there are some high power lines that streak across my sunset view. Normally I don’t notice them until I want to capture and share my beautiful view. I am so fortunate that the land shown here will never be developed. The land is owned by the state and is granted use to the University of Arizona for research. It is a very popular area to go 4Wheeling, hiking or horseback riding.

Thank you!
This is a new area I found. Don't even know what this basin is called, but I will be back. After further research I think it could be part of Gray Cooper Gulch.
When I say I found it, it wasn't my first time in this area, it was just the first time I could see it. I was doing my standard roads in this area in a fog, I promise I couldn't see 15 feet in front of me. I got lost coming down Corkscrew, turned on this road couldn't see anything, turned around, got lost going up Hurricane, barely got turned around, found Hurricane, couldn't even see the sign on top. I did this all by myself, not smartest thing I ever did, but made it.
So when Don and I went out the other day, I asked him turn down this road. Am I ever glad we did. So this will always be on my future drives.
Thought this was one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. Hope you enjoy it.
