| Hello mountains. Is that snow? |
Train tracks were first laid on the pass in 1877. The D&RG railroad describes the track traveling from Pueblo to Alamosa as the "Scenic Line of the World." This was the first high mountain pass the D&RG built and was exclaimed around the world as an engineering marvel.
I didn't get a photo of the train tracks (maybe on the way home). They follow the ridgeline of this mountain. I didn't know the history until looking up facts about La Veta Pass.
I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Peace,
Kay

So jealous. I can't believe I was in Colorado less than two months ago and the mountain areas were so green. Before when I have been in august they were dry and dusty.
Enjoy the time with your friend.
Have a great weekend.

I enjoyed seeing the gold trees and the bits of gold popping through the green. What a lovely view.
I had fun reading about the dog adoptions and Ace Ventura. It must have been a lot of fun because it was a really rewarding day. I love to see dogs get a forever home because they need all the love and attention we can give them. Just wanted to add that even though I have chosen a forever cat, it doesn't mean I don't like/love dogs.
beautiful pictures! I really loved living north of Denver but I don't miss those get cold early temps. Goes with the altitude. I like the flat, arid, landscapes of southwest Texas and southeast New Mexico best though! How have you been? Vickie
Hi Kay, I just love how you are so free to just hop in your car and head out on a road trip. My mother was like that. She wasn't one bit afraid to just pack a bag and take off across the country all by her self. I've traveled to places maybe the longest about 400 miles, to see my daughter, but you are always taking a road trip. I admire your bravery and your gypsy spirit. I also love, love, love tagging along, by way of the internet. Have a wonderful trip and a great visit with your friend. Wish wishes, Connie :)
