nice pictures!
in another version I have the the road from Buena Vista over Cottonwood Pass and on to Almont - Gunnison included, but I thought its too much tarmac, also not sure about the motorised traffic there. Your version south looks interesting. But then from from Sargents on on the Highway 50? Looks like traffic. ... or not?
