This is a blast from my past. Look at those snow covered mountains and majestic evergreen trees! I cannot be exact with the time-frame of these pictures, however, my estimate would be between the mid 60’s and late 60’s. If you cannnot read backwards, click on the link to see the exact location of Monarch Pass along the Continental Divide Trail. It is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It most likely looks very different today.
This coming week the United States will be visited by a monarch, King Charles the 3rd. I hope he and Camilla are royally welcomed and have a pleasant stay.
