I’m really not striking a pose 
The wind is fierce, I was trying to keep my hair back and out of my face–lol
I’ve crossed the Continental Divide numerous times but there has never been a place to take a photo. Usually, I’m driving through a tunnel or it’s been on a twisting turning road with no place to pull off. Luck was with me while I was in Denver though and Loveland Pass has an excellent place to pull over to enjoy the scenery and take as many photos as you want. Yay!!
Just in case you are wondering, the Continental Divide is formed through a series of mountain ridges, mostly on the crests of the Rocky Mountains that separates the rivers flowing east into the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico from those flowing west into the Pacific Ocean.
Driving up to Loveland Pass
This drive is so beautiful. I highly recommend it if you are ever in the area. The roads really are not scary to drive and its so worth it. There are so many people in the Denver area that ride bikes. It. is. crazy. They ride their bikes up and down these steep mountain roads. They are way more energetic then I.
When I arrived at the top there were about 30 bikers taking a break before they headed back down the mountain.
Loveland Pass is right around 12,000 feet above sea level. There was still snow in patches at this elevation.
The flowers were in full bloom though and they were so pretty.
Incredibly GORGEOUS!
There is always a beautiful drive that can be found in the greater Denver area.
Cheers,
Don and I refer to them as Bicycle Nazis. Gotta love their energy, but we’ll stick with the lazy way to tour.
Have a great weekend, Deb
LOL. Love the description and, yes, I’ll stick with the lazy way as well. Enjoy the weekend.
Actually I wanted to comment on these gorgeous picture. The poetry of nature!
I do feel taken aback though that the word Nazi gets used so easily. Sorry I do not want to offend anyone. But no one having lived through this horrible, tragic period of time, uses this word outside its original context. TBH, I haven’t lived during this time, yet being German I am very much aware of the recent history having affected everyone worldwide.
