I took the 4runner out for a spin today. From Idaho Springs, I took Oh My God Road up to Central City and then around through Central City to Nevadaville.
The continental divide was sparkly and white today.
Beautiful day today.
Going down Hamlin Gulch Road. It got a little tippy at one point. A Grand Cherokee with a bunch of kids were coming up in that section. They were trying pretty hard to roll the thing down the hill. Hopefully they made it up the hill without incident…
Down the trail toward Fall River Road.
I went up Rainbow Road following a Wrangler. We only made it three or four miles before the snow became too deep.
Heading back down Rainbow Road.
I think that’s Parry Peak. Looking back up Rainbow Road.
Out on Forest Road 175 before it turns into Yankee Hill Road.
Side spur off of Forest Road 175.
Up at the top of a hill. That’s Mount Evans in the distance.
On Yankee Hill Road. Way out in the distance is Denver. Yankee Hill Road became impassable toward the summit due to snow. Maybe in another few weeks the road will be open all the way over to Saint Mary’s Glacier.
Back home after a great day out on the trails.
