Hello fellow hoggers,
The wife and I are planning a vacation in August to Morrison Colorado to attend a concert at the Red Rock Amphitheater and will be vacationing in the state of Colorado. We are pretty familiar with Colorado Springs but would love to get some feedback on other areas that would be great for photography. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
You did not say how long or where you are staying in Colorado. If you are staying near Morrison and don't have a lot of time, take I 70 west up to Georgetown. Book a ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad. Go into town for lunch and have a Colorado micro brew. Then follow the signs to Guanella Pass. This is not a scary drive, no driving along a cliff edge. If you are not use to mountain driving this is for you. There are lots of places to pull over and take photos. You climb to over 10,000 feet so be aware you might be a little short of breath. You can turn around at the summit and go back to Georgetown or continue on to Highway 285 back to Morrison. About an 1 1/2 hour drive. Maybe have a late dinner at The Fort Steakhouse. Great Photo opportunities for a one day outing. Look all these places up on Youtube or Google.
