snow Bank Pics on Trail Ridge Rd

I'm finally in a Hotel in Glenwood Springs and have some downtime. I looked at the pics on my digital camera last night. Most of them were taken while I was riding.

I only have 2-3 from our adventure riding through Rocky Mountain National Park. However I think they'll be stunning. I got some shots of us riding between the snow banks and they are truly incredible. I only wish my camera had not quick working in the "white out".

I don't have the ability to upload any pics until I get back home but will get a few up next week. I took one shot yesterday where snow banked peaks not far away just became visible as we were cresting a climb. It was another WOW moment that I hope I adequately captured.

Funny-but I got a number of photos of my favorite sign-it's the one at the start of an approaching descent-the yellow warning sign that that has a truck on a downhill grade.

I tried to take a few over my shoulder while I was climbing to show the long line of riders behind me but when I looked at them I didn't see any riders. Either I was at the back or I had dropped them all!

Looking forward to seeing those photos jppe! From your description it sounds like something we'd see from the Giro.
