Outdoor Photos and Landscapes

Bypassed it...came into CO on 50 at Grand Junction, but took a left on 92 at Delta so I could do that twistie part west of Sapinero. I got white knuckles crossing the Rockies (I get dizzy on the third rung of a step ladder). Awesome drive.

 

Fabulous photos and what a great road trip!!!

 

I asked because I'm researching the Montrose area as a possibility if I decide to move to Colorado. Still it very early stages, but it's research I enjoy doing.

 

I was in St. George and Kanab in Utah a couple years ago on a Road Scholar adventure. Loved(and love)the area!

 

My Utah post should have gone HERE. Shux. Oh well, it's in response to one of your photos, anyway!

 

Whenever I see photos like your Nevada one, I always wonder if the people who live there ever just run to those hills/mountains on weekends for a hike. I live in quite possibly the ugliest, dullest, least interesting area in the country (unless you love concrete jungles overflowing with people) and I can't help but feel that if there was a mountain chain in my backyard, I'd be hiking it every day and raking in that beautiful view.

I came up from the southern pointy-end, north through Las Vegas, and stayed in Tonopah. Highway 6 heading east was about as long a desolate drive there ever was. Stayed on it until I took 50 in Ely. Like the Texas Panhandle, miles & miles of nothin'.

If I was near mountains like that, I couldn't stay out of them.

 

I'm thinking of maybe moving to Utah. The desert, and those cool rock formations, and *no people*. Sounds good to me.

 

y'know, that's the same Rte 50 that begins in Annapolis, MD.

 

it's very easy to forget your worries when you are in such places.

 

Yup, from one coast to the other. "Loneliest Road in America", as it's called in Nevada. I believe it.

 

It's a struggle to enter it from Massachusetts,, but it can gradually be done.

 

Living in Massachusetts, that's the kind of drive I'd love...miles and miles of nothin'.

 

Now those pictures are a sight for sore eyes. Thanks very much for posting them! Souds like a great tour as well!

 

Well you did good with the photos while you were out of pocket! Those are great!
