Luv 2 Drivelapse? - Like for updates & great travel ideas
This drive follows Gunnison County Route 12 from Highway 133, over Kebler Pass, to Crested Butte, Colorado. I made this drive during the first week of October, 2014 -- usually it would be slightly late for autumn colors, but this year the leaves were late, and the display of fall colors was perfect.

One day in Crested Butte - Jul 2010
In the summer of 1993, I decided that I had had my fill of summer vacations on Fire Island and the Hamptons. One child was out of college and working in the real world, while the other two were at a sleep-away camp for most of the summer. Meanwhile, my wife diplomatically observed that if she had to leave Manhattan, it didn't matter if she was in the Hamptons or Siberia ... and since I had spent much of my childhood in the western part of the U.S., I decided to look around in Colorado for a nice vacation spot.
I eventually spent a week in Crested Butte, and a week in Ouray, and you can find the pictures from those visits in my massive Flickr archives. While the scenery was spectacular, I eventually concluded that the area was too crowded and over-run by tourists, visitors, and owners of summer/retirement/ski homes. So, during subsequent summers, I ended up in other parts of the country...
17 years later, in the summer of 2010, I decided to come back ... partly because I was curious to see whether the back roads and wilderness areas had been transformed into shopping malls, and partly because I wanted to see if I could do a better job of photographing the landscape than I had been able to do in the early 90s. The technology of photography had evolved, of course, from film to digital; and I thought I might be at least a little more experienced in the art of capturing mountain scenes...
My travel schedule was too restricted to venture down to the southwestern area of the state around Ouray; I basically had only two full days to see as much of the Crested Butte region as possible. Unsurprisingly, the town itself had become more crowded; and there seemed to be many more condos and ski chalets up in the ski valley. But once outside of the town itself, I was delighted to see that almost nothing had changed. The dirt roads were still unpaved; there were no gas stations or fast-food outlets; there were no beer cans, trash, or other obvious signs of pollution along the roads; and the mountains looked just as pristine as ever.
I took a few photos on the drive from Ponchas Springs to Gunnison, and up highway 135 to Crested Butte, which I did not include in this video -- but most of the pictures were taken in the region around Crested Butte itself. One morning, I drove east of the ski village, on a dirt road that led through the biological research station of Gotham and up into the mountains toward Emerald Lake; that afternoon, I drove south to Gunnison, and then west on Highway 50, along the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Back Canyon, almost all the way to Montrose. And on the second morning, I took a different dirt road out of Crested Butte, westwards over the Kebler Pass, skirting the Paonia Reservoir, and then along highways 133 and 92 to Hotchkiss - before reversing direction, and driving back the same way to reach Crested Butte again.
Altogether, I took about 350 photos during all of this driving around. For someone using a digital camera, that doesn't really sound like much ... but these were all 5-image, handheld HDR composites, so it took a lot more effort than the usual snap-snap-snap kind of photography that I typically do in an urban street photography environment. I boiled all of this down to 75 keepers, some of which are current-vintage replicas of the same scenes that I photographed in 1993 ...
I may go back again someday, but I must admit that I don't feel a compelling need to do so at this point. Sooner or later, there probably *will* be a Starbuck's or Pizza Hut or McDonald's on one of those back-country dirt roads ... but I hope it will be long after I have disappeared from the scene altogether.
Devil's Punchbowl Crested Butte
This is a small section around the middle of Devil's Punchbowl. This is the easier section of a mostly moderate to difficult trail however the scenery is great in this spot. We arrived here in July of 2010 and the trail had just been made passable a day or two before because of a snow drift. One of the more memorable trails of all time.
