The Colorado VCA did another cruise today and we drove up to Mt. Evans, the highest road in the continental USA.

We gathered here in the morning

That seems like a very scenic cruise. The closest we get to something like that in the north-east is the Mount Washington Auto Road in NH to just over 6000 ft.

NICE! Great photos. Looks a little like some of the Tour De France finishes. Thanks!

I've never driven Mt. Washington here in the NE. Might be a fun "cruise".

It should be a fun fall cruise! Fantastic views from the summit if the weather permits. And you get a bumper sticker that says "This car climbed Mt Washington". :rolleyes: BTW, I did drive it in the Viper in 1997 and remember the toll operator at the bottom warning me "DO NOT RACE up to the summit." which off course I ignored. :headbang:
