Back to trip pictures! After our stay in Manitou Springs, we headed north, intentionally taking the most scenic route we could find to Glenwood Springs. That route included a drive across the Continental Divide at Independence Pass.
The drive was magnificent. As we gained altitude, snow started appearing and we even had a few flurries! The snow made the mountains appear utterly majestic.
For the first time this season, we walked in snow to a lookout point at Independence Pass.
The drive up and down the mountain was tricky with quite a few switchbacks, like the one shown above. But I grew to enjoy these drives. So much more exciting than straight highway

You're lucky that you enjoy those switchbacks. They scare me to death, even when there is no snow. I feel like everyone is going way too fast.
