It's time to hit the road with this month's theme: The Road Less Traveled. Show us your roadside images! Roads/highways/4x4 trails can be in the pictures or simply show an incredible view of a site you have found that is off the beaten path. Like Robert Frost wrote in his poem: trips on these types or roads may have "made all the difference" in your life!

Not exactly an unknown road here: this was taken at the base of Trail Ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park in autumn a few years ago. However, who wouldn't want to drive through a scene like this in a red Mustang convertible?

Highway 95 through Comb Ridge. At the right time in the afternoon, one of the most beautiful roadside views in Utah.

Great stuff so far everyone!

I just happened to be driving along this road when I saw that the sun was going to sink down directly in front of the road.
