Royal Gorge Bridge and Basalt, Colorado

From Denver to the Royal Gorge Bridge near Canon City to Basalt where my hosts took me on a trip up a dirt (sometimes) and snow covered (sometimes) road where we were nearly trapped until the spring thaw. Images are from April 2008.

Also pictured is the area around Basalt and the horses kept at the ranch.
