Here are some photos from my short trip to Colorado over the 4th of July weekend. Had to do a bit more sight-seeing from the car than I would have liked, but oh well.

For those wondering about wildflowers, there were lots along the Arapahoe Pass trail but they were not that dense, yet.

Nice shots! I think I like the last two best.

Real nice collection, Lars! One time I had my 4x5 camera set up right on the trail about where you took your Arapahoe Pass shot overlooking Caribou Lake (so you know how narrow it is there), when all of a sudden a runner came around the corner and scared the crap out of both of us!

I also like that second one. Neva is such a pretty mountain. Been meaning to get back up there again, so your pics might've inspired a revisit.

Thanks all.

Todd, Neva is a really cool mountain and I wish I didn't have to rush off it due to the rest of my party choosing to wait down by the lake.
