snow on the mountains

 

After three days in Yellowstone (no wifi!) seeing the sights and experiencing rain, snow and hail, we returned to Jackson on a glorious day with new snow on the Grand Tetons.

snow-covered Spanish Peaks

 

The Highway of Legends is one of the most scenic and historic drives in Colorado rising to Cuchara Pass on the shoulder of the Spanish Peaks. The 82-mile two-lane highway connects Trinidad and Walsenburg with scenic views of volcanic formation, lakes and historic communities. .  La Veta is situated on the eastern side of La Veta Pass through the Sangre Cristo Mountains.  Just south of is the foot of the West Spanish Peak.  Today as we crested the peak there was still snow on the ground.  It was a great day trip with lunch in Cuchara.
