I drove along Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous highway in the U.S. I stopped at Lava Cliffs to recreate this photo from my youth.
I did it from memory, so I didn't get the exact stone I was resting on!
The Gore Range parking lot provided a nice view down Forest Canyon. That's Longs Peak at the end on the left.
Then I went up to Bear Lake (as I always do, it seems).
I learned that the view of Longs Peak from the lake
was the inspiration for the Colorado quarter design:
This view was one of my favorites, so I'll show yet another similar shot!
I thought about turning around when I first got to Estes Park because the Labor Day traffic was so bad. Next time I go, I'll try not to choose a holiday weekend!
