I used to live on the Western slope. That view there was how I knew I was about to enjoy the rest of my drive.
Terrific photo and very evocative.
Frisco is prime viewing spot to watch the tunnel traffic back up 10 miles. My record is almost 6 hours to go 115 miles to DIA.
Edit: see if I can insert this clip.

A wreck further up the road caused traffic to come to a complete stop and the big rigs even with chains couldnt get started moving again on the incline. CDOT was pushing trucks with their bull bars to get ambulances through)
Oh, wow. Gorgeous shot! That's an image you don't forget, apparently, either. I haven't lived there for years, but damn if I didn't know instantly where(ish) that was taken, and felt super satisfied to see my memory wasn't playing tricks on me, when I checked the comments. One of these days, I'll get to see that, again. Thanks for sharing. 😊
For me, coming over the crest of the hill heading west is always a great feeling. Means im headed home.
