Steamboat Springs to Winter Park, Colorado

The 800 Meters crew started the day at Steamboat Springs, Colorado (elevation 6728 feet) and cycled for over an hour to reach the top of Rabbit Ears Pass (elevation 9426 feet). In the west side of the Rockies they then dropped back down to just 7000 feet. Other summits and cities visited today included: Muddy Pass (elevation 8772 feet), Hot Sulphur Springs (elevation 7662 feet), and Granby (elevation 7935feet).

The Rocky Mountain high - Colorado!

Hi Mikael and David
I am so proud of both of you. What an undertaking!!! I love the shots of you going uphill because it really gives us a feel for what you are doing out there. Thanks for all the beautiful scenery shots. Maybe some day you'll do the same trip in a car and get to enjoy the sights in a whole new way. I love you both. JML
