Once the sun came up, Trail Ridge Road thawed out an was open by 0830. Good, because I was not the only one planning on heading that way. In the past, we take some back roads through North Park, South Park, and past Lake George. But the weather gods were not smiling that day - that route was cold and wet. Snow would not have surprised me.
We drove up over the top of Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved highway in the continental US. Well over 10,000' ASL.
Longs Peak had some fresh snow on it. It hink it's going to be a long winter around here.
You can't really see her, but Michele is bundled up in the passenger seat.
