I took a bike ride up to Rocky Mountain National Park today and rode Old Fall River Road up to the top of the pass. This is a one way road that used to be the original road going over the pass, up until Trail Ridge Road was constructed. Like the name implies, there are falls along the road and the scenery is breathtaking. It rained, hailed and snowed on the way up. It was a great ride!

I shot these photos with my K20D and Super Takumar 28mm F3.5 lens. The air wasn't as crisp/clear as it usually is up here because of the large wildfire in the area.

The craters in these two mountains were producing clouds. The clouds got to be pretty large after a while.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing!

I was out that way once and went part way through the Rockies, to the Continental Divide, I think. Good memories, someday I'll have to try and make it out that way again...

Man, respectfully, I hope you know how lucky you are to live around this kind of beauty and riding.

Us boobs in the Midwest get all excited over a small river with a road that has a bend or two ...

I am envious ...

Enjoy and thanks for sharing. Great pics ...
