Just ambling along

We are just slowly ambling along taking in views where ever we are - which happens to be getting colder.






A rather nice valley encompassing the ghost town of Independence in Colorado in the Rocky Mountains.







Independence Pass 12,095ft the Continental Divide.

Twin Lakes.


Abraham Lincoln on a park bench in the skiing town of Steamboat Springs.




A big wall of dinosaur fossils at Dinosaur National Monument on the Colorado/Utah border. Thousands of dinosaurs died in a drought and later their  bones were washed together and fossilised in this one area, part of which has been made into a showcase.



Another wonderful piece of rock structure in the area, Split Mountain.





These photos above were taken in the Red Canyon of the Flaming Gorge in Utah.  The depth of the cliffs are 1700ft with the width about 4000ft.  We crossed back into Utah on our way back to the much warmer California coast.


Andrew standing on a ledge above the BIG drop.  Normally this would really freak me out but a photo op is a photo op :-)


Finger rock at Sheep Creek Canyon geological drive at Flaming Gorge.
