    A few years back the wife and I drove up Mt Evans, highest paved road in the country. 14,100 ft. We used to drive up it annually when me and some buddies went out to watch the NHRA mile high nationals near Denver. When the wife and I went there were bicycles all up and down the mountain. Adding just a little more hazard to an already “hairy and nerve wracking drive” but totally worth it when you get to the top.
    I actually gained quite a bit of respect for the cycling enthusiasts that can pull that off. One guy had us take his picture while holding his bike in front of the sign.

    Yeah, I could imagine. When I went with the wife I couldn’t believe how busy it was compared to the previous trips. And that’s probably been ten-ish years

    Cool pic! As Sandhillbilly said not far from me at all. When I was a teenager and in my early 20’s I used to snowboard down Loveland Pass all the time. There’s a spot in the winter (after you get off I-70 at the Loveland Pass exit) where skiers and snowboarders gather. Random people in trucks and vans will stop and let you ride to the top of the pass and drop you at the top. Then you strap in and bomb down the mountain from the top. It’s a blast! You do have to watch for trees as you get closer to the bottom though. I also frequently drive Loveland Pass in the winter to get to Keystone and Arapahoe Basin. I always let the skiers and boarders pile into the back of my truck on the way up. It’s kind of a right of passage in Colorado. Good times!

    Yes! High mountain Pine is much more dense than crappy, low elevation pine. The Pine that grows on my property is heavy - and will burn all night and coal up nicely.

    I lived in Colo for 45 years, can't say I ever saw that cow sign. That said there are certain BLM and National Forest lands for lease to graze cattle. 35 years ago we were headed to Dead Man in my husbands 79' Blazer, at full stop as a herd to cross and one accidently whacked his giant head against our rear panel. They used to do the same at Horsetooth Reservior but I think they stopped once they paved the road, guessing too many accidents? It seems crazy to me to let that much investment roam free and take their chances with predators, but....my ancestor bought land SE of there in 1870, that place was previously founded by a man that ran out of nice weather and luck and abonded his herd there, returned the next spring to find them doing quite well. Wild it was a wanderluster's mistake to realize it.

    Anyway pretty sure those signs are BLM/National Forest where grazing lands are leased.
