Thanks Larry
Richard Thuss Oct 23, 2011, 9:42pm UTC
If that is on I-70 on the way from salt lake to Denver I agree that road is the million dollar highway. every time I travel it on my motorcycle I can not believe how beautiful the scenery is along that road. if not, then tell me where the million dollar highway is, so on my next trip west I can see the view in this great photo.
Sandy Moore Oct 24, 2011, 12:04am UTC
The million dollar highway is between Silverton and Ouray, USS 550. There are no guard rails on the one side. One must be careful as there are places where there is no room on the other side of the white line. i will be posting pictures soon. Maybe you are thinking of the Glenwood Canyon area. it is stunning through there.
Susan G. Oct 23, 2011, 9:46pm UTC
Is that snow on the side?
Sandy Moore Oct 23, 2011, 11:55pm UTC
It sure is.
mary v. Oct 23, 2011, 10:02pm UTC

Sandy Moore Oct 24, 2011, 1:28pm UTC
Thanks Marge.
Patricia J. Oct 24, 2011, 12:12am UTC
That's beautiful, Sandy. You should have that blown up and framed, maybe play with a background!
Sandy Moore Oct 24, 2011, 12:34am UTC
Great idea. i am surprised it came out this good being the truck was moving when I took it. I just posted another one that you might like.
William Dotani Oct 24, 2011, 3:02am UTC
Come now! You want me to believe this real. I realize the is one of thos paint by number art kits. It's so obvious with the bit of brown smudge in the mountains show you had probably painted a shrub in that area before realizing this mistake. Still it looks nice.
Sandy Moore Oct 24, 2011, 11:34am UTC
Got an idea. Come on over, i will take you across the Million Dollar Highway just so you can see this marvelous sight.
Bernard C. Oct 24, 2011, 5:20am UTC
Great view from here - the colours and tree growth too - makes for nice walks or hiking too :-))
Sandy Moore Oct 24, 2011, 10:22am UTC
It would be fun to climb this one.
Lisa C. Oct 24, 2011, 1:26pm UTC

Glad that you like it L, C.
Len Maxwell Oct 24, 2011, 3:03pm UTC
That is fantastic. Even today, I'd have to hike to the top of that one.
Sandy Moore Oct 24, 2011, 7:16pm UTC
I would like to also but it would take me awhile.
CL Mareydt Oct 25, 2011, 10:29am UTC
