Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic Byway along the Uncompahgre Plateau - western slope, Colorado
Highway 141 (The Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenice Byway) took me to the Uncompahgre Plateau in southewestern Colorado. Although I didn't focus on the roadside sign it did say this is one of the richest areas for wildlife in Colorado. You can see it's clear, clean, quiet beautiful place that could have probably done okay without this road having been built...

A winter's drive near the Unaweep Divide along Colorado's western slope
Although a bit wasteful and polluting, I've always enjoyed a good road trip. Luckily many of my trips have served some kind of business purpose other than just idle cruising around the countryside.
In this case I was on business along Colorado's western slope as I made a number of stops in small towns on state highways 141 and 145. This portion of the Whitewater and Unaweep canyons was in-between the towns of Gateway and Whitewater near the Unaweep Divide - about 425 kilometres (265 miles) southwest of Denver.

[Wikipedia] Unaweep Canyon
Unaweep Canyon is a geologically unique canyon that cuts across the Uncompahgre Plateau, Mesa County, in western Colorado. It is unique because two creeks, East Creek and West Creek, flow out of opposite ends of the canyon, separated by the almost imperceptible Unaweep Divide. State Highway 141 runs inside Unaweep Canyon between Whitewater and Gateway, one segment of the Colorado-designated Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic Byway. The Unaweep Divide, elevation 7,008 ft (2,136 m), is near mile marker 135 on SH 141.

Wild turkeys along Colorado state highway 141 near the Unaweep Divide
While driving along Colorado state highway 141, near the Unaweep Divide and Whitewater Canyon, I saw dozens and dozens of turkeys along the roadside. Unfortunately each time I stopped to photograph them they all scattered. However, in this video you can catch a glimpse of them scampering up the hillside as I approached...

Riding Dolores Canyon Gateway Colorado
Enjoy riding through Delores Canyon in the beautiful red rock south of Gateway, Colorado, on Colo Hwy 141. I'm on my motorcycle and am hand-holding the camera, which accounts for some of the jitter. I love this canyon! Not only is it beautiful, but the road is a dream.
