After waking up around 3:45 this morning my father and I headed to Mount Evans for Sunrise. It wasn’t until we arrived in Idaho Springs did we notice that that road up the mountain was closed until 1pm today. So in lieu of the road being closed we just kept on going on I-70. We finally entered a very foggy Loveland pass and awaited the sunrise. The wind was howling at a pretty good clip and the temperatures were in the low 40′s. After walking around for a bit the sun came over the ridge and just about all the fog dissipated into the sunny clear skies. Overall a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

After a few rainy days the storm finally started to clear early Sunday morning. I heard on the local news that the snow level dropped down to around 10,500 ft and so my Father and I decided to head to our favorite mountain locations to see the fresh snow. To our surprise just about all the peaks up and down the Continental Divide were covered with about 4-5 inches of the white stuff. What makes is even more exciting was the fact that today is just about the middle of summer! Where else can one experience Winter in the height of Summer months
