Colorado Hiking Pictures

Hiking in Colorado was amazing - and tiring. It's tough on your lungs to go from about 5,000 feet elevation to 12,000+ feet within a 40 minute drive, then climb up a steep hill to go even higher.

Loose rocks on the edge of looking down.


Clouds at eye level.

You can reach out and touch the clouds as you climb up Loveland Pass.


Snow capped mountains of Loveland Pass.

Snow capped mountains everywhere... in late June.

Small flowers at the higher elevation.

Only tiny vegetation like flowers live this far up the mountain.
