My flickr page is getting thousands of false views again. Flickr is "working" on the problem. It seems to affect new posts the worst so I am going to stop new posts until it is fixed.

The Neversummer Mountains, forming the continental divide between the Colorado River and the North Platte River, is small and tall, covering only 25-square-miles, with a north-south length of 10 miles, while rising to over 12,000-feet at over ten distinct peaks.
Fairview Curve, at an elevation of 10,120-feet along Trail Ridge, presents a grandstand view of the Never Summer Mountains and the meandering course of the infant Colorado River in the Kawuneeche Valley. Both sides of the Kawuneeche Valley, which was shaped by great glaciers, is filled with forests of mature lodgepole pines. The Colorado River originates five miles north of this site at La Poudre Pass and flows 1,400 miles through five states before emptying into the Gulf of California.
Another view of the Never Summer range from Mount Ida's alpine meadows, with Billy making his way back to the trail.
