Above Timberline

On the road to Mt Evans (aka Mt Blue Sky) I stopped at this area well above timberline to grab a few shots. The clouds coming into view add to the scene!

How deep does the snow get up in that area? Looks like a small patch still remains on the slope in the left canter of the scene. Looks nice in B&W.

Thanks Alan in winter the snow gets very deep in this area, probably in the tens of feet. The road closes in late September most years and I have been caught in snow up there in August.

Thanks for the comments Joe, yes it is a good place for photograph. On some occasions you get shutoff mountain goats and bighorn sheep.

That's so neat! I like the B&W Larry.

I am sorry I didn't hear about the road closing next year, I would have made sure to have gotten up there this year.

Hi Jim; thanks for the comments about the photograph, very much appreciated.

I was sorry to hear that the road was being closed also, and my not open again until 2026. Sounds like the road will really be improved and I won't miss some of the large hump and bumps in the old road!
