CHAFFEE COUNTY PICTURES: Photos of Surrounding Mountain Scenery! (February 2005)

Just north of Mt. Yale is the Mt. Harvard cluster.
I had a hard time getting a good shot of them from this area. TOP:
Mt. Yale (left) and Mt. Columbia cluster
(right). BOTTOM: I drove north a bit on Highway 24. I'm 99%
sure the right peak is Mt. Columbia (alt. 14,420 feet). |
 |
| Heading north of Buena Vista,
I thought this view was striking. |
 |
| I drove into Clear Creek Canyon with the hopes of photographing
Vicksburg and Winfield
(two historic ghostowns), but the road was covered with quite a bit
of snow. So, before backing out,
I took a shot of clouds hovering over what I believe is Waverly Mountain (alt. 13,291 feet),
a 13er in front of 14er Mt. Oxford. |
 |
| Gray clouds hover over Mt. Massive (top) and Mt. Elbert (right). |
 |
| The Arkansas River as a young baby!
(Picture taken in Granite, CO on the
bridge over the river.) |
 |
| The southern Sawatch Mountains including Mt. Shavano (alt. 14,229 feet) from two different angles. |
 |
| Lastly, a view of the northern Sangre de Cristo range, south of Salida. |
