There was a small pullout on the way up the mountain on the Corkscrew Gulch road. It was my first real 4x4 road in Colorado and very exciting to drive. It wasn't a very technical road, but plenty steep. The views were worth every effort to get there.
This was an early lunch stop in Corkscrew Gulch on our way up the mountain. It was a steep road, but not very rough at all. The road was a network of roads that would have led back to Silverton had I stayed on it. The dogs and I stopped in the high basin to camp and woke up the next morning to a couple inches of fresh snow.
The quality of light in the mountains is ever changing and a pleasure to experience. Things happen fast and are as fast to go away too.
