Poudre Canyon Scenic Drive
Poudre Canyon Scenic Drive at higher elevation
Pastoral meadows become more abundant as we gain altitude. The harsh road cuts of the lower elevations are giving away to meadows as we approach the Commanche Peak Wilderness.
Yearling Moose on the Poudre River Scenic Drive
By the time we reach 9,000 feet in elevation we begin to see moose. I think this is a yearling.
Meadows in the Commanche Peak Wilderness
We are not yet at the snow line but approaching it. These meadows have become lush with altitude and water.
Headwaters of Cache la Poudre River
This is pure snow melt and the snow is not far away.
Mountains along the Continental Divide in the Roosevelt National Forest
Snow is visible all around us at this altitude. Somewhere in this area we transition out of the Commanche Peak Wilderness into the Roosevelt National Forest.
View from Poudre River Scenic Drive SR-14
We are approaching 10,000 feet in elevation. Notice how green everything is.
