We'd been gaining altitude since Loveland, but in a somewhat gentle climb. Now it is time to head upward along the switchback road which will take you beyond the tree line. There are several spots to pull over and take in the fabulous views which include even higher peaks, alpine plants, and distant lakes.
Don't miss the highest spot. I often see pikas here, the cute small-eared relatives of rabbits. My favorite view ever came at this spot where I watched billowing white clouds rolling in below us. Elk are often scattered through the area. I once spotted a wolf!
