Selective color exercise. Visiting the Alpine Tunnel in Colorado. Alpine Tunnel is a 1,772 ft (540 m) narrow gauge railroad tunnel located east of Pitkin, Colorado on the former Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad route from Denver to Gunnison. At an elevation of 11,523 feet (3,512 m), it was the first tunnel constructed through the Continental Divide in Colorado, and according to the U.S. Forest Service "remains the highest railroad tunnel and the longest narrow gauge tunnel in North America." However, it did not last long in service. Construction began in January 1880 and was scheduled to last for six months but instead dragged on until July 1882, and the line was abandoned in 1910 due to minor damage in the tunnel. Now the tunnel is sealed shut and the remaining trackbed serves as a trail for hikers and off-road vehicles.

There are more than one way to see the moutains.

I think had this been closer to home I might have tried to work out a deal on it.

The cabin I rented outside of Creede, Colorado while I was mapping there. Two bedrooms and a kitchen. Meals were usually cooked on the woodstove ... which helped to warm the cabin on the cool mornings.

Just an old photo from the files. A miner's privy outside of Creede Colorado. Just something I passed while mapping the alteration of potassium feldspar.
