Drove Red Mountain the other morning for photos. Got past both construction places before shutdown going out. Beautiful - shot over 200 images.
Coming back I got held up 20 minutes or so at first (smaller) construction area. But was in line for the noon opening at the major one. I was about 8th in line and was there at 11:20am. Bet there were couple hundred vehicles in line. Not sure all of them were allowed thru.
I extended our stay here one day in Ouray so DW and DD can go up with me tomorrow. Closures are only the weekdays.
Let me just say it is interesting - including half of the fall off lane has been removed in spots so you are single lane to the inside. Will be interesting to see what they do there. Have great pictures.
