Silverton's 4x4 Roads
Poughkeepsie Gulch & Corkscrew Pass Roads
Back at the intersection, I found a family standing outside their car,
and pointing. They had spotted a fox, or more accurately, the fox
had spotted a potential easy meal.

Now, you're not supposed to feed the wildlife, so I want to make it
clear, I'm not the one who gave this critter a slice of bread.
But I'm glad the other family did, because it kept the fox around long
enough for me to snap a few good pictures.

After the snack, the fox wandered away, up the mountainside, all the
while keeping a close eye on the humans who were watching him.

The trip back revealed more amazing scenery. I took this shot
directly above Lake Como (you can see the edge of it at the bottom of
the frame). If you look closely, you'll also see my rear-view
mirror in the corner, which tells you I shot this out the passenger-side
window.

Even in August, this huge snow drift still stands as a testament to the
rough San Juan winters.

Looking back towards Silverton, from near Hurricane
Pass.
