It is stil gold rush and there are only Casino’s. The city is in a steep valley and looks very cool, especially so early when no one is on the streets.
I get a little lost in the small streets but I don’t mind driving around and just looking...
Finally I’m out of this place and on my way into the mountains
Before I enter the park I see the weirdest things - did not expect that at all!
Ok, I’m in!
Oh my is that beautiful! There are really dark clouds around but I don’t mind, it just enhances the dramatic look. I wish I could capture emotions in the pictures!
The car climbs up higher and higher and I’m basically all by myself.
I wonder how this looks in winter - it must be a wonderland:)
I remember the times with my folks when I was a kid. They used to take me to the mountains and I was hiking along. Seeing all that brings back a lot of wonderful memories and my heart jumps up and down. I reached the trail head
which is Fall River Pass and am 11794 feet (3594 m) high. The air is thin and walking around not as easy as I thought:)
Driving down I reach Grand Lake. I remember it from last year where I stayed in a cabin for one night. The day turned beautiful and I sit on the water and dream away...
That is the look towards the mountains...
After that I get back on the road driving West...
The weather turns dark again.
Around 7 pm I reach Craig, a little village where i had a cheap motel last year and get myself some take out food and a beer. What a great day!
