After a good night at the Soaring Eagle ranch rv park just west of Steamboat Springs, we checked updated weather forecasts and decided today was the least chance of snowy / icy roads across the Colorado Rockies to Loveland, and highway 14 over Cameron Pass and down the Poudre River canyon the best route. We were right. Basically dry roads, mostly sunny, very little traffic. So now we can take care of doctor appointments and then get the heck out of here.
The vista of the back side of Rocky Mountain National Park is always sensational, but with the blue skies today WOW! Too bad oil & gas extraction has discovered this 35 mile valley; the once pristine environment is now dotted with drilling rigs and well, and the air is fouled. Sad. 😞
