Our first glimpse of the Snowy Range way off in the distance as we begin our journey up Hwy 130

Nearing the town of Centennial

There a some lodges and cabins scattered around along with numerous campgrounds for tents and small campers. 

Here there is a lodge with cabins for rent. The Snowy Range typically opens Memorial Day through October weather permitting. We were here shortly after it opened however some of the cabins, etc. remained closed along with some of the campgrounds. The east entrance Visitor's Center was closed for renovation. 


This is St. Aalbins, a small outdoor Episcopal chapel near Little Brooklyn Lake and is the site of frequent weddings and other ceremonies.

Remnants of winter weather. This snow cat was parked on the side of the highway near the chapel

Little Brooklyn Lake (there are 2 fishermen out on the lake in small boats)

There were a few other people up at the Libby Flats Observation Point so one nice lady offered to take our picture. In the background is the Medicine Bow Peak (12,013 feet elevation). The pass where we were standing was at 10,847 feet elevation.

Photo out of order. This is a creek coming out of Little Brooklyn Lake.

Panoramic photo of the Medicine Bow Peak and surrounding area from the Libby Flats overlook.

Taking you all the way around in a circle.

Round and around we go and still not done

Ok, this is the last one going round and round. Isn't it beautiful?

I zoomed in for a closer look at Medicine Bow Peak

Another view of the area


This is Libby Flats overlook where we were standing up on top for our Kodak moment.


Just more beauty
