Colorado over the 4th of July, 2015

We love Colorado and the mountains. On this day we went wheeling on the Ophir Pass, found a little snow at the pass, elevation 11,789 ft. The views in every direction are just spectacular.  

Wild flowers blooming in the mountain meadows. 

After camping in Ouray for a couple nights we moved to Ridgeway State Park about 20 miles from Ouray. Ridgeway is also a beautiful area, this photo was taken at sunset from a trail behind the Visitor Center in the Park.

Back in Winslow AZ, we've seen some amazing sunsets here, (no photo editing). 

Grand Canyon North Rim

We liked the north rim of the Grand Canyon much better than the south. I think mostly because it is way less crowded and touristy. You can walk around and find places to sit and look at the canyon and be alone (for the most part). We drove out to several points (above) and were the only people there.

Waiting for a sunset that never really materialized because of the clouds, none the less the Grand Canyon is ever changing with the clouds and light of the day, it's a magical place. 

Raining in the canyon.
The clouds and little rain showers that popped up added to the show.
