Altitude Sickness?



Oh yeah, 11,312 feet is definitely high altitude. I felt fine riding on the bike but as soon as we slowed down and I tried to walk...I was a noodle and lost all coordination. Walk 5 feet and catch your breath.

We went through Monarch Pass on our way to Montrose yesterday. What beautiful views at every curve here. The mountains seem to go on forever and ever. Here are a few pics from yesterday.


Dangerous foliage? Thistle!

On the way up to the pass
