Intended to just drive a bit of the way in and climb Handies Peak, but the snow was too much at about 13500, so we drove the whole loop instead. Lots of fun, beautiful scenery. It was wet up top, but I probably could have done the whole thing in 2wd.

The very beginning, right out of Silverton

Breakfast and dishwashing on the hood. Grease is a bitch to clean off when it's frozen....

I'm really not good at taking "action" shots. Seems easy for everyone else to do. Mine just look super mild
