Trip to La Veta Pass

The snow is hanging around longer this year

The valley is beautiful this time of year

Sherri decided she wanted to take a look at the pass at La Vita to see if we could cross there to head east. It was a steady climb from the west to the east which did not look too bad to go that way. Now the climb from the east to the west was a little steep and it went on for several miles. I am not sure if I wanted to put my truck on that much of a pull but then who knows it might not be that bad. 
Then you have to think about the road down...west to the east. You would have to depend on your Tow Haul to keep the speed down. I guess you never know until you try it.
We saw some beautiful vistas on the way there and the way back. Sherri did real good on the photos. These were taken with our cell phone. 
We stopped at the Wally World in Alamosa to pick up a few items we needed. Then we crossed the parking lot and ate at the Chili's. I am on a diet so Sherri and I split a salad. It was really good and believe it or not I got full.
From there we headed back home. We enjoyed the day and will return...
