Cordova Pass over Spanish Peaks in south central Colorado part-1Cattle grazing on private property off the gravel road to Cordova Pass
There was a large private ranch called the Cuchara Pass Ranch that the road to Cordova Pass passed through. Free range cattle were common along the road in the early going.
Glancing peak at the Spanish Peaks through the thick evergreen forest on the gravel road to Cordova Pass
We were hoping to get some good views of the Spanish Peaks as we traveled to Cordova Pass but it was NOT to be. The thick conifer forest obscured our view of everything but the forest. On several occasions, and this being one, a quick view of the Spanish Peaks would present themselves. We cherished this peak because they were few and far between.
Quick peak at Spanish Peaks through the dense conifer forest off the gravel road to Cordova Pass
This is one of the fleeting views of Spanish Peaks visible through the thick evergreen forest that blocked our view of everything for 95% of our 6-mile journey on this extremely rough gravel road (not well maintained) to Cordova Pass. Note that the Spanish Peaks are comprised of layer upon layer of sedimentary rock.
Cuchara Valley viewed through a small opening in the ever green forest from the road to Cordova Pass
This is a small opening in the conifer forest enabling us to view the Cuchara Valley stretching out in the distance.
