Here's some photos of the Colorado High Country in May and June...
Our family's front porch at their home in Woodland Park, Colorado snowed in on May 21, 2022. Elevation approximately 8,500 feet.
Our Highway 65 flat summit on top of the Grand Mesa, Colorado. May 3, 2021. Elevation 10,849 feet. CDOT Webcam photo. We had just driven across here the day before.
1st photo is the frozen Island Lake on top of the Grand Mesa from Highway 65 at around 10,500 feet a couple miles south of the summit. May 2, 2021
2nd and 3rd photos. Highway 65 on top of the Grand Mesa, Colorado at the summit. On May 2, 2021 on 2nd photo. Around the same month in 2019 in 3rd photo. Elevation 10,849 feet. Depth of snow looks like 10 to 15 feet. It's a long flat road on top. Notice that there's no snow melt due to it's still too cold.
Normally it isn't until mid-June that anyone can camp around our home. We have RV's going past our home and they come back down. It must be a disappointment due to our snow is still around.
June 21, 2020. Looking up at the Grand Mesa from our home south of Mesa, Colorado. Elevation 6,000 feet. The 11,000 foot 500 square mile flat mountain is still snow covered.
