Estes Park, Co.
Took a hunting trip to the Estes Park area last week. No hunting tag for me but the CO. forest roads were an unexpected plus!.
If you run up I-45 through Huntsville you are going to see one of the Fathers of the great state of Texas - Big Sam.
The next big thing in Texas is Bucee's.
Worst part of the trip was US-287 between Wichita Falls and Amarillo, whole lotta nothing. Maybe the reason Texas spent so much on nice rest stops.
Fuel Stop. At an average of 13 MPG for just over 1050 miles, there were quite a few.
New Mexico State line. Driving for more than half (700+ miles) and 12+ hours and just now leaving Texas.
New Mexico US 87 - more of alotta nothing, just a bit more interesting.
Sierra Grande (extinct) Volcano in NM, Who Knew??
What's the white crap on top of that mountain? (Houston boy in Colorado City)
Estes Park Elk, these guys own the place and they know it.
The hunting sucked because the weather was too warm (fantastic from my standpoint) so we did some exploring.
Johnny Park Road
Longs Peak(Correction: Mount Meeker) from Johnny Park Rd.
Pole Hill Road - Not very difficult but look at the view we stumbled across.
The state is cutting a new road thru Devils Gulch, an hour wait to get thru but the drives up Dunraven Road and Storm Mountain were very cool, especially Storm Mountain.
