SNOWSTORM AT HOOSIER PASS! Snow At The Continental Divide (March 26, 2006)
 |
What an afternoon! I needed to go for a drive to clear my head,
and wound up arriving at the Hoosier Pass summit this afternoon. As no surprise to this time of year,
it was snowing pretty hard! |
 |
I didn't have any hiking gear for wandering around some of
the trails for snowshoeing, so I mainly took pictures of signs and the road. ;) |
 |
This is looking towards the Summit County (towards Breckenridge) side of Hoosier Pass. This is definitely a stark contrast to when I visited Hoosier Pass in September 2005! |
 |
Um, if there was a lot more visibility, you would have been
able to see Mt. Bross and Mt. Lincoln in the background, two of Colorado's 14ers in the area. |

Here's the thing: I actually had a date with a girl in Denver,
where we were planning to meet in Breckenridge. Well, the weather was pretty bad and so she didn't
want to do the drive - understandable! Ah, but I still was in the mood to head to Breckenridge to
do some photography. However, in view of the conditions I turned around at the summit
because of the road conditions. |

Looking towards the Park County side. |

I wanted to get one more photo of the Summit County sign practically buried in snow! ;)
