U.S. 285, South Park, Colorado. February 27, 2008.

Today was mostly a travel day with not much time for photos. This is my favorite photo of the day. I was heading south on U.S. 285. In South Park (a large valley surrounded by mountains) it was was snow and ice covered, and a bit slippery. A ground blizzard was going on. At times there was so much snow blowing across the highway that was hard to see anything. Everyone was being careful. Progress was slower than I had planned.

Sprague Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. February 27, 2008.

Before heading south I had to get one last photo of Sprague Lake.  In the summer and fall this is one of my favorite sunrise locations.
