A day at Arches National Park
A visit to Arches NP is highly recommended. There are some fantastic geological formations, and they change their appearance depending on time of day. The morning light just makes for a different appearance than an evening image. So I have listed below an album taken over two days, but listed as if they were taken on one day.
A truly wonderful place to visit, but allow more than 2 days!
Raton, NM to Buena Vista, CO
Our drive to Ft. Vancouver is well under way. Today we drove from Raton, NM to Buena Vista, CO. Not overly far, but all secondary mountain roads. With narrow roads, no shoulders, and strong wind currents we had to stay on the ball. But we made it, and are now parked and can rest up before tomorrows short (but high altitude!) drive.
Colorado is having a heat wave, close to 100 degrees, so we’ll just have to stay in and read etc. It’s too hot to go hiking.
The first part of CO69 wasn’t too bad, but windy
The road winds into the mountains
The mountain terrain becomes more rugged
And more rugged…..
Finally on Highway 50, a little wider
And parked for the day.
