Wonderful photos of majestic beauty Matthew!

I would love to have such scenery as my 'usual' route.

But then I would have to have super low gearing and lots of time to get up the grades.

There's beauty to be found in my area of North Texas but one has to search beyond the concrete as it doesn't smack one in the face with awe striking beauty like depicted in your photos.

I did get to experience riding in such beauty in my younger years on 3 different self contained bike tours.
