Cinnamon Pass

Cinnamon Pass was the site of one of my early dates with The Lizard, back in the day when I could eat still eat such sugar-drenched masterpieces as Cinnabon. Back then, we enjoyed our big, fat, gooey cinnamon rolls atop The Pass, soaking up the most magnificent view of San Juan 14ers Sneffels, Handies, Redcloud and Sunshine.

Last weekend, we pedaled The Pass, first time for me, sans cinnamon, but with lots of luscious autumn color.

Red Hot Cinnamon Pass

Ever since I found out Colorado has fourteeners, I've been trying to climb them. Ever since I learned the name of Redcloud Peak, the 46th tallest peak in Colorado, I've wanted to photograph a red cloud above the mountain.

Finally had my first opportunity over the holiday weekend. The fabulous fourteener showed its best hues, but the clouds didn't quite cooperate. Aerosmith sings this [really strange] song that goes, "Pink... it's like red but not quite." Couldn't have described the San Juan cloud cover any better.

Meanwhile, over my shoulder, another set of clouds over Cinnamon Pass was singing, "Shoot me! Shoot me!"
