Fremont Pass Region (Photos From A Recent November Snowstorm)

November 2005 - This afternoon I traveled round trip from Buena Vista to Silverthorne, taking Fremont Pass over the Continental Divide. From Buena Vista, the weather was sunny and relatively calm. Little did I know I would encounter a gnarly snowstorm on each side of Fremont Pass! On this page are four photos from my drive.

Above is a photo Clinton Reservoir with (what I believe is) Wheeler Mountain in the background. I wish my camera could have captured the "silverness" and "whiteness" of the entire landscape. As a warning, definitely consider the weather as a factor when traveling through Colorado's high altitude passes, including all Continental Divide passes, during the winter.
