August '11 Colorado Road Trip

The plan is to have two Colorado road trips this year.  One in August, for exploration..  One in October, to capture the colors of Fall.  I'm working on August, right now.  We'll see what happens to October's trip when October gets here.  :)

Day 1 : Getting out of Texas!

Random goofiness in the car, getting from Fort Worth to Colorado..  My goal for the day : "Get to somewhere / anywhere in Colorado!"

Day 2 : Hermit Pass

I had read quite a few things, saying Hermit Pass was in the high end of easy.  I guess, truth be told, it was..  It was just higher on that scale than I expected.

9 miles up.  9 miles down.  Well over 5 hours...  Not what I'd call a relaxing drive.  But, I did it!  This isn't another one to add to the "yeah, I started it, but didn't finish it" list.  :)

Day 3 : Quartz Creek Cabins - Pitkin, CO

After 600 miles on Saturday and 5+ hrs on Hermit Pass on Sunday, I decided to just stay in and chill-out.  I didn't even start the car today.  :)

Day 4 : Another Day In Pitkin

Another day of mostly being at the cabin, with an excursion or two thrown in.

Day 5 : Departing Pitkin

A run up Cumberland..  A failed attempt to get to the Crystal Mill..  And no more Pitkin (for this trip, at least).  ;)

Day 6 : Black Bear Road

En route to Durango, I saw the cut-off for Black Bear Road.&nsbp; So, I took it and drove up there as far as seemed reasonable.  Heck, I pretty much drove to the first good place to turn around that had a great view.  :)
