Nice scenic area! You guys in Colorado have it made when it comes to scenic passes!Snowed in the high country today! It's not the first time it's happened this early but isn't really common. The mountain far off in the distance with fresh snow on it is Longs Peak. The summit is around 14,200 ft. Late August is the ideal time to climb this mountain, so I hope the snow doesn't cause any danger to climbers. It already is a very dangerous mountain to climb. I took the Fall River Road up to around 12,000 ft today and got some great nature shots. Along with the snow, I saw a bull moose (sorry about crappy pics, he was far away and I had a crappy camera today) and some beautiful mountains. Any of you that live in or near Colorado, definitely do Fall River Rd. It's easy and scenic.

I'm guessing the answer is yes, but ever done Old Fall River Road through RMNP? I like that one even more
