Looking up from the bottom of Royal Gorge. Rode the incline railroad.


Hummingbirds at Royal Gorge, I could not catch one in flight......


Rafter's beneath the Royal Gorge bridge - helps to have a good zoom lens. Click on this pic for really a really good view.


Looking down from the Royal Gorge bridge - 1053 feet high.


Had to stop and cool my feet in the Arkansas river near Texas Creek. The water was pretty cold.


Old ranch from 1870's being restored


Inside the shrine cave was a Madonna and candles


Found this shrine along side the road today, looks like folks were tying hats, shoes, bandanas to remember their loved ones


Spanish Peaks with cloud covering the peak


One of the views going up to Cordova pass


Rode 5 miles up this dirt road to get to Cordova pass, elevation 11,100 feet. Rough ride but worth the view


A beautiful day to ride today, this is in the San Isabel National forest


It was very quiet and peaceful at this lake in the San Isabel Nat. forest, in southeast Colorado


My granddaughter Hannah helped me pack - she was ready to ride too!


I always eat at the classiest places I can find! EZ, Scooter and Cargo may recognize this from our Kanab trip in '05
