Here's a teaser. See all the people,,,,, I didn't think so. This and other scenery like it is Colorado to me. No disrespect to those that live there, but I can't do the Front Range.

No offense taken since I live along the Front Range. :laughing: Before all the people came in and ruined things; if one was lucky and had a hilltop lot, one would have a killer view of the mountains to the west. Speaking of which, one advantage of living along the Front Range for the directionally challenged is the mountains are to the west, so it makes it easier to figure out where you are. Unlike Salt Lake City that sits in a valley surrounded by mountains.
When I was a kid, we lived about 5-miles north of downtown Denver, and my Mom said that was the boondocks in 1956 when they bought their house. In the early 60's when I was 5 or 6, I can remember going out into my parent's backyard on a clear night and seeing the Milky Way.
Can't think of the technical name, but it's the Black Canyon near Gunnison. Settlers crossed that ravine with their wagons and belongings. Just try to imagine such an undertaking!!!
Here's another teaser. Put Colorado or anywhere in the Rockies on your Bucket List. I've never saw an ugly place in those mountains.

You're close, it's the "Black Canyon of the Gunnison" and is west of the town of Gunnison. Gunnison has brutally cold winters as it sits in a valley, and there is a small college there called "Western State Colorado University" Western State Colorado University that I believe was called "Western State Teachers College" when I was a kid.
That looks like Summit Lake on Mount Evans.
Okay, this is the last one, now you are on your own to go there and take yours.

I'm stumped with that last one.
