The drive from Grand Junction to Durango took us over the 11,000 foot Red Mountain Pass. We were both feeling a bit short of breath at that altitude. (OK, we were gasping.) We tried very hard to take lots photos to capture the beauty and grandure of the high Rockies. We succeeded in the first part... we took lots of pictures. But we were very disappointed in the RESULTS. Here are some that we liked.Read more
Quality not quantity---at it's best!! I remember gasping for air in Bryce Canyon. I forget the altitude. LT

TravelerWe are breathing double at 7000 ft. 11,000 was insane. Dad said they had to put on oxygen masks at 10,000 feet flying during the war.
