The Unbeaten Path

2008.01.21
I love this tunnel that was cut in the rock. That's our truck on the other side!

Looks like we have the whole mountain top to ourselves again. Usually where we go you need a pretty serious 4X4 machine.

The top of Owl Mountain. I think what draws me besides the views is the name of the Mountian. All though we never saw an Owl. hmmm

Sunset looking west from Owl Mountain. It was even better in person!!

The Top Of Owl Mountain.... Colorado 2007
Felt like the top of the world. Even though I am use to much higher elevations.

These snaps were taken last September on Labor day. I am really over the snow stuff so I thought I would dwell on more fond and warmer memories.

We were at 10,500 feet elevation. Very warm day 65 to 70 degrees. When we get away like this we rarely see another human for miles and miles. Once in a while we would see a hunter way off in the distance.

Madoc That sunset is definitely one of the most beautiful I've seen in recent memory. The colors and contrasts are absolutely gorgeous.
This must have been a truly memorable moment for you, standing there in front of that!!!

emilith9 Oooh. Pretty sunset.


The rock-tunnel fascinates me. It just looks so...neat. And it's like I've seen it before, but I know I haven't.

I think you should take more pictures of it. =)
