Gary the monkey

I just got back from Denver and witnessed something amazing. The mountains received over 6 inches of snow in August! It snowed enough to temporarily close Loveland pass in August. I don't live in Denver but suspect that snow in August never happens.

We got to see and touch the snow first hand when we drove up to Mt. Evans. Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America and at it's highest point comes in at 14,264 feet above sea level. Driving up Mt Evans is a bit scary at first, since there are no guard rails and any wrong move in a car will send you tumbling over cliffs to your death.

Here are a couple of photos from August 8, 2008 on Mt Evans
