Finally, taking the Jeep someplace that my Contour couldn't go: Georgia Pass, formerly a connector between South Park and Breckenridge, now a playground for ATVs. It's on the same road as Jefferson Lake.
I noticed, approaching the mountains from the east, that the road behind me was straight back, so I thought I'd get a little artistic.
Don't worry: there's no more of that.
Here are the mountain as God intended them to be seen:
Obligatory I-Was-Here Pass Sign:
Once you get there, there are some fantastic vistas both of the mountains to the west, and back at South Park. The pictures don't really do them justice, and one of the dogs had a hip that wouldn't let him climb the mountain with a full 360-degree view, so these will have to suffice.

Great Photos, but publishing stuff like this only makes more folks want to move to Colorado. Who could blame them?

How BEAUTIFUL!!! I've probably said this before, but I can almost taste how it smells from memory. Thanks for sharing!
Hope everything went well yesterday! I saw it was 103 - ug - HOT!

You do not want to move to Colorado. The state is entirely covered by the "White Blanket of Death" for at least 7 or 8 months of the year (note spots of "White Blanket of Death" still on mountains in the pictures above) so it is best avoided.
