Sangre de Cristo Mountains! Near Westcliffe & Coaldale, CO!
July 2004
 |
I had actually intended to drive my Honda CRX up and over the Sangres via Hayden Pass, but it just didn't look passable with my car. |
 |
The stunning view of the northern Sangre de Cristo Range south of Coaldale, as you're heading towards the Hayden Pass Drive. |
 |
South of Cotopaxi and before you hit Highway 69, you'll get a nice view of that far northern Sangre range. |
 |
Wow! Heading south towards Westcliffe! |
 |
Westcliffe is a small ranching town. With it's amazing mountain views, it has created quite a tourist niche. |
 |
Oooooooooooooh! |

Those Sangre de Cristo Mountains are huge! They run like a long and tall spine from north to south! |

There are beautiful aspens all throughout the Custer County region. I've got to come back in the autumn! ;) |
 |
By the way, Villa Grove, Del Norte, the Sand Dunes, Bonanza, San Luis and the San Luis Valley are on the other side of this mountain range. |
 |
I'm telling you, I love Manitou Springs with all my heart, but man oh man, the scenery out there is so stinkin' captivating! |
