Some 2010 photos

Just a few photos from 2010 that I thought you all might enjoy:

Pigeon Peak from along the Animas River, in the Weminuche Wilderness


Near Engineer Mountain, looking at the La Platas in the distance


Jupiter Mountain, in the Chicago Basin, Weminuche Wilderness

Engineer Mountain from off the Coal Bank Pass trail


A rainy day in the Chicago Basin, Weminuche Wilderness

I wish I could get photos like this on rides. Unfortunately, until I'm okay with several pounds of gear on my back just for photography (ala Scott Markewitz of Bike and Hans Rey adventures fame), I guess snapshots of rides will have to do. Backpacking, on the other hand, lends itself more to the extra weight for a nice camera, a couple lenses, a tripod, etc... I hear Markewitz's photog pack on rides weighs about 20-30 pounds. Ouch!

Looking forward to 2011.
