Beautiful country.

Some great pic's. After living out in the area for around 5 years they bring back memories. I love that area and all it has to offer. I have ridden the area on both a motocycle and a bicycle. Either way it is amazing.

Love Colorado but have only driven it in a cage. Does the bike run any differently at altitude?

The bike does fine up high. Just purrs along. We couldn't be happier.

Rode thru there in May of 2010 the opposite way from what appears that you rode. Absolutely beautful and there was still snow on the ground. I actually stopped at some of the same places that you took the photos from and took some of my own. Thanks for posting. Brings back great memories.
