Last weekend I was camping at the San Juan mountains hoping to shoot wildflowers and stars, but the weather was pretty much cloudy/overcast/rainy most of the time I was there. On the second of my camp sky opened up little bit and gave that moody sky and I really liked that in the given conditions there. On the way back I drove through the newly paved Cottonwood pass (last image in this set), this newly paved mountain pass is finally open (before this wasn't paved most of the west side of the pass) and it's marked double lane all the way! Elevation at the summit is 12119 feet, this is the second highest paved continuous road in US, first place belongs to Trail Ridge road at 12183 ft. This is a very scenic road and a quick one for Crested Butte travelers from Denver area. Absolutely love this highway, drive to Crested Butte area makes much more fun!
