Near the top of Trail Ridge Road, near Estes Park, Colorado. Beautiful snow-capped mountains in the background, a fertile valley in the center, and a rock wall alongside a highway, which continues in the distance. A bicycle loaded with camping equipment leans against the wall. My bike, and I continued on down that road.
