This was shot very near the top of Engineer Pass (12,800 feet) on the Lake City side. The signs you see up hear tell you to stay on the road so you don't damage the alpine tundra. In all the years I have been going up there I have never seen anyone going off the road. Going off the roads does hurt the tundra, but the biggest motivation would be it could you killed. There are very few foolish drivers driving these roads.
You can always tell when someone is new to these roads. They tend to stay in the middle of the road, they never want to be on the edge, even in areas that are easy. Sometimes being on the edge is a safer line of driving. If you ever drive these roads the biggest danger to your tires is sharp rocks cutting the sidewall. You need to watch for this and if you see one drive over the top of it. So if you get to Ouray, rent a jeep and do some easy trails. Just take your time and drive defensively.
thanks for looking and let me know if you have questions.

The Alpine A110, also known as the "Berlinette", was a sports car produced by the French manufacturer Alpine from 1961 to 1977. The Alpine A110 was introduced as an evolution of the A108. The A110 was powered by various Renault engines.
Like other road-going Alpines, the 1961 A110 used many Renault parts – including engines. But while the preceding A108 was designed around Dauphine components, the A110 was updated to use R8 parts. Unlike the A108, which was available first as a cabriolet and only later as a coupé, the A110 was delivered first with "Berlinetta" bodywork and then as a cabriolet. The main visible difference with the A108 coupé was a restyling of the rear body to fit the larger engine, which gave the car a more aggressive look. Like the A108, the A110 featured a steel backbone chassis with fiberglass body. The A110 was originally available with 1.1 L R8 Major or R8 Gordini engines. The Gordini engine delivered 95 hp (71 kW) SAE at 6,500 rpm.
The A110 achieved most of its fame in the early 1970s as a victorious rally car. After winning several rallies in France in the late 1960s with iron-cast R8 Gordini engines the car was fitted with the aluminium-block Renault 16 TS engine. With two dual-chamber Weber 45 carburetors, the TS engine delivered 125 hp (93 kW) DIN at 6,000 rpm. This allowed the production 1600S to reach a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). The longer wheelbase 2+2 Alpine GT4, originally considered a version of the A108, was updated with A110 engines and mechanicals, now being marketed as the "A110 GT4".
The car reached international fame during the 1970–1972 seasons when it participated in the newly created International Championship for Manufacturers, winning several events around Europe and being considered one of the strongest rally cars of its time. Notable performances from the car included victory in the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally with Swedish driver Ove Andersson.
With the buy-out of Alpine by Renault complete, the International Championship was replaced by the World Rally Championship for 1973, at which time Renault elected to compete with the A110. With a team featuring Bernard Darniche, Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Jean-Luc Thérier as permanent drivers and "guest stars" like Jean-Claude Andruet (who won the 1973 Monte Carlo Rally) the A110 won most races where the works team was entered, making Alpine the first World Rally Champion. Later competition-spec A110s received engines of up to 1.8 litres.
As well as being built at Alpine's Dieppe factory, A110 models were constructed by various other vehicle manufacturers around the world. The Alpine A110 was produced in Mexico under the name "Dinalpin", from 1965 to 1974, by Diesel Nacional (DINA), which also produced Renault vehicles. The Alpine A110 was also produced in Bulgaria under the name "Bulgaralpine", from 1967 to 1969, by a cooperative formed between SPC Metalhim and ETO Bulet, whose collaboration also resulted in the production of the Bulgarrenault.
In 1974 the mid-engined Lancia Stratos, the first car designed from scratch for rally racing, was operational and homologated. At the same time, it was obvious that the tail-engined A110 had begun reaching the end of its development. The adoption of fuel injection brought no performance increase. On some cars, a DOHC 16-valve head was fitted to the engine, but it proved unreliable. Chassis modification, like the use of an A310 double wishbone rear suspension, homologated with the A110 1600SC, also failed to increase performance. On the international stage, the Stratos proved to be the "ultimate weapon", making the A110, as well as many other rally cars, soon obsolete. The A110 is still seen in events such as Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique.
In 2012, to mark the 50th anniversary of the A110, Renault prodded a concept car called the A110-50.

Big plant, gorwing up to 1 - 1.5m height. it is endemic to the Alps between 1000 m and 2000 m altitudes, but can be found in other mountain ranges in Central-Europe, and also on the Scandinavian peninsula and in Scotland.
Farmers love this plant, as they believe it increases the milk production of cows, hence the "milch" (milk) in the German name.
The plant is related to the common chicory.
One last patch of winter golden hour sun lights up local A84 as they head back south to Wilton after working customers at the current north end of the N-Line at Talladega. Hard to believe these NS "admirable cab" rebuilds have been around for well over a decade now.
1963 calendar - Opel Kapitän
On the German Alpine road, Alpenstrasse, a scenic drive through Germany's highest mountains in southern Bavaria.
Notice that this Kapitän only has white walls on the front wheels, just like this Kadett, so snow tires were mounted on the rear wheels.

Normally I am not a big fan of photos with clear blue sky. Obviously some scattered clouds at sunrise or sunset makes for a more dramatic image. That said I still appreciate the blue sky when the rest of the photo has good interest and I feel this photo falls in that category. This is another lake in the Enchantments in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all comments!
