Red Mountain Open for the Summer

Red Mountain Pass, along with Molas Pass and Coal Bank Hill are open for business after a series of slides, late snowfall and herds of sheep prevented the transportation artery from functioning at full capacity in May. Above we catch a reenactment of the 1890 range wars that left thousands disenfranchised. Note the remnants of crude guard rails at the bottom of the ravine. (Miraflora Marigold Photo)
