Some of you might recall me asking a few questions re. touring Colorado prior to our 2017 trip. I was interested in riding some of the highest peaks - Mount Evans and Pikes Peak, for various reasons this didn't eventuate. Lucky it didn't, as even at this altitude and with a few days and nights acclimatising, I still showed some symptons of altitude sickness. I was okay sharing the driving with Helen, but I would have been in serious trouble at 14000 feet or more, on a motorcycle.

One day .....

- would be better with a location.

Reminds me of Zabriskie Point, some of you may be old enough to remember the 1970 movie Zabriskie Point, I remember the movie because it was the first (that I remember anyway) movie in Australia that had a full frontal scene - I think it lasted a millisecond.

Some pics from 2017:


Same pic, just zoomed-in on the car park:


Our rental Hyundai Sonata is somewhere there. Here's a challenge, who can guess the most popular hire/rental vehicle in this part of California? Well from my point of view anyway.

Boy, do I know that feeling. I was in Colorado, heading for the million dollar mile. I pulled over at 13,500 ft and couldn't breath. It was scary as hell. I'm actually thinking about buying or researching a can of o2 for my panniers.

My bad. Mammoth Hot Springs at Yellowstone National Park.

The first picture looks like a river delta, but is just off the boardwalk.

Yes, Mustang convertibles seemed to be the vehicle of choice. The people? My guess is that most were from Eastern Asia.

... Mammoth Hot Springs at Yellowstone National Park.

No wonder I could not pick that, the colours were very different the day we visited in April 2017.

Is Cotton Wood Pass paved from 135 to Buena Vista? Google maps does not show street views

Arches N.P. Look closely and you can get a sense of the scale...those tiny dots are people.
