Cottonwood Pass, CO

Bill is taking a rest besides the Taylor River

before heading off to Cottonwood Pass, CO.

This is the view that greeted us as we

came upon Taylor Reservoir.

I was able to capture this fishing hawk

over the lake.  If anyone knows exactly

what kind of hawk this is, let me

know and I will edit the post.

Another view of the stunning scenery,

Getting closer to Cottonwood Pass.

I find it amazing that at 48 degrees I had the

window open to cool off since the

sun was rather strong.

Approaching the timber line, I saw these "baby"

firs.  The larger is about 14" tall and the smaller

about 4".  It takes a very long time for them

to grow up here.

You can see where we are going next.

Almost there!

Finally made it!  It only took two hours, but

it was a marvelous ride!

The wind was raging at the top.

Beginning the descent down, heading off

to Salida, CO.

I don't normally post restrooms, but I wanted

you to see the "journey" I went on to find some

relief.  Thanks to all my physical therapists

that made this possible with God's grace!!!
