On a record run

Yes, that is icy snow on the windshield.  Eisenhower Tunnel (11,158')

The summit lookout sign at Guanella Pass (11, 376')
ESTES PARK CO - - If you read my previous blog you'll know we went back up to Monarch Pass to see the snow.  With one 11,000+ pass under our tires we decided to keep going.  After lunch in Leadville ( a mere 10,200') we headed up along the rocky Mountain Scenic Byway with an icy snow falling.  In passing through the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel we has our second 11,000+.   In Georgetown, Lydia saw a sign toward Guanella Pass.  No altitude given.  The road was good and 10 miles up we came to the summit overlook and a sign noting we were at 11,376'.  Tomorrow??
