Description
Loveland Pass is a high mountain pass, at an elevation of 11,990 feet, and on the Continental Divide. It is located on U.S. Highway 6 and is twisty with hairpin turns, and with steep grades. The Loveland Pass was originally opened in 1869 as a wagon road. When Interstate 70 was opened and went through the Eisenhower Tunnel, big trucks more than 14 feet high as well as trucks carrying hazardous materials were ordered to take the US 6 bypass through the Loveland Pass; bicyclists and pedestrians were also ordered to do so. Most of the land on which the Pass is located is National Forest Service property. I was introduced to the Loveland Pass several years ago, when our Audubon group searched the snow-covered mountain slopes for Ptarmigans from a turn-out at the Loveland Pass.
The beautiful view from Loveland Pass on the Continental Divide in Colorado was photographed on 6-23-2021. I used a Nikon D850 and a Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR zoom lens to capture this scene. Settings: 1/1600 sec, f/8.0, ISO 450.
I am honored that my photograph was featured by the Fine Art America groups:
