Black Canyon of the Gunnison

I have to choose whether to enjoy riding the curves or watching the scenery, because it's too distracting to do both.

I've never seen color like this in a landscape. It reminds me of a calico cat. It rained on and off all day, and I even got a few snowflakes going over Monarch Pass. The mountains here are huge, on the same scale as the Alps. It's raining this morning, so I think I will skip the mountains south of here and head for Utah. I don't want to get snowed in!

Trees so intensely yellow, they almost look fake.
