Heather and I headed over to Grand County for a wedding outside of Granby. On the way, we stopped at Berthoud Pass. When I was here last, there was a lot more snow and the weather was much colder.

Berthoud Pass in the Snow
On my way west to Oregon, I decided to take US 40 through northern Colorado. To go over the Continental Divide, I had to drive up and over Berthoud Pass. This photo is looking generally north in the direction of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Berthoud Pass sits at 11,307 feet above sea level.
There are those big Rocky Mountains in the distance.
The mountain to the east of Berthoud Pass has what looks to be a large telecommunications complex on the summit. It appears to be mostly a microwave facility.
Just like on Loveland Pass, Berthoud pass has the traditional back country skier warning signs about long range weaponry.
