Thanks for all the kind remarks guys.
The photo was taken high up on the trail to Argentine pass, just past Santiago mine. Much of the road up is a shelf trail, and unfortunately it was blocked by an impassable snow mass a few hundred yards past where the photo was snapped. There are plenty of challenging spurs to try along the way. One very steep climb in particular caught my eye by Waldorf, but with only my wife and young children I did not try it.
BTW, this trail sits just west of Georgetown CO.
Thanks -- I will check this out on Trail Damage -- I have seen this listed on their website.
