CALIFORNIA TO COLORADO BY CAR & CAMERA

CALIFORNIA TO COLORADO BY CAR & CAMERA

Of some 1100 miles from Huntington Beach to Denver, the 600 miles between the Virgin River Gorge just south of St. George, UT and Denver is my favorite stretch to view and photograph.

These images are presented in the sequence of travel driving the I-15 and I-70 out and return by the same route.

Early first day of travel we arrive at Barstow, CA	Nevada state line just ahead, the first casinos on far side of the desert sand.	Images 3/11 views as we drive through the Virgin River Gorge.

			As we leave the Virgin River Gorge, Utah looks like the painted desert.
Entering St. George, UT	Outside the Painted Pony restaurant in St. George, an excellent place to dine.	This photo taken about 2 seconds before sun dropped beneath the mountains and the pink hills turned black.	Leaving St. George on day 2 we are reminded that winter hasn't left the entire state yet.
Images 17 through 31 on the I-70, taking us to Grand Junction, CO for end of day 2.


			Day 3, stopped along the Colorado River as we headed for Denver.
	Last stop on I-70 at top of Vail Pass where winter refuses to leave.	Images 35/42 shot east of Denver in an agriculture area where grain elevators are common.
