Strange trip to Colorado part 5 - The Highest Highway in US

From the Green Ridge we turned North, to drive on Highway 34 through the Trail Ridge Road - the highest highest continuous paved road in US. It reaches the altitude of 12,183 ft (3,713 m).

Strange trip to Colorado part 4 - Green Ridge

From lush green of Haviland Lake, through mountain passageways, we reached the Grand Lake on the border of Rocky Mountains and Rio Grande National Parks. The mountain (or hill) near the lake bears the name of Green Ridge, shared by the over-family-friendly campground. We were just learning.

Strange trip to Colorado part 3 - Driving through the Rockies

Leaving Haviland Lake behind, we started driving North towards Rocky Mountains National Park, via mountain highways carved in rock. We were up for a treat, and knew nothing about it.

Strange trip to Colorado part 1: Grand Canyon

This was almost the first of our trips, the pre-car one. Almost doesn't take into account various conferences, trip to Palo Duro Canyon, and kayaking on San Marcos river with the TTU OPC club, and random drives to Dallas/Houston on business.

After looking through three-year old pictures, I think I need another visit to Grand Canyon - this time to take some pictures actually.
