Colorado

Fiery sun dropping below the mountains

In the New Belgium beer garden outside Steamboat

Rob goofing off…just a little.

Nice field

This things was IMPOSSIBLE to ride, at least in a straight line. Was fun though.

A raging forest fire outside Glenwood Springs, CO

Watching the fire chopper take on a load of water from the river

After our first day of hot riding. No, I didn’t do it all in my hat.

Ian and I coming in to Aspen, CO

Getting ready to saddle up again

At the top of Fremont Pass up at 11,318 ft. after a nice climb. We would hit 52 MPH on the way down, flying!

Cool roadside lake

Sunset along the river

Sunset outside Rand, CO population 3.

The road goes on forever

Up at the top of Loveland Pass

During the middle of the day’s ride a freak hail storm blew in and dropped around 3 in. of hail within an hour. It completely changed the landscape and made summer look like winter.

The Tetons again looking over the National Elk Refuge…that’s where we’re headed!

A little off road action in Curtis Canyon, WY.

The sky really lit up on this night and gave us a color-filled show!

Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming
The following 11 pictures are all from Grand Tetons. Ian and I spent 3 days backpacking within the park, putting down about 20 miles and ascending up to about 10,200 ft. with packs. What a gorgeous place!
