Taken on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, late November. Elevation approximately 9-10K feet, just happened to nail it as far as snow amounts and temperature that day. It was around 34 degrees F where the picture was taken, the road was closed about 2 miles away due to increased snow/ice. Where I live it was around 65 degrees that day, elevation there is 5K feet.
A coin flip decided my vote, both are great locations. I will never get tired of riding in CO and a trip to Deadwood is on my itinerary. Looking forward to either location.
