Have Fun, Drive Safe
In order to get to your hiking destination, it usually requires mountain road driving. Now this is usually not your typical highway driving experience. First of all you have winding roads mixed with hilly sags and dips — expect anything! Now mix in tourists travelling in their rental cars (especially inside national parks) and its driver beware time! Oh, and did I mention, wildlife ready to rip across the road at any moment? I had a close call with big elk last summer, a very close call actually! Have fun, drive safe. Thanks for stopping by.

que buena recomendacion porque los que amamos el senderismo sabemos que el reto empieza desde el camino a la montaña y mas con la fauna silvestre que siempre nos recuerda que estamos en su territorio
what a great recommendation because those of us who love hiking know that the challenge starts from the road to the mountain and even more so with the wildlife that always reminds us that we are in their territory
That is right, different rules apply.
Have safe traveling friend. All your photos are perfect 🤩
Is traveling your hobby?
Hiking which requires some travel is my hobby yes.
I really don't like high mountains roads with that tough turns, need to play with the clutch
I imagine it is more difficult with a standard transmission.
When I look at the picture of the road with its uphill and downhill slopes, it looks interesting to drive on. I don't really dare to drive on a road like that. The last time I drove on a road like that was 3 years ago when I was participating in a field work internship.
It is actually fun, but requires a higher degree of concentration.

Thanks for the share.
Three photos brimming with exquisite depth!
Thanks.
Was the Elk crossing the road when you had that roadside experience with it?
I saw some typical documentary and experience of people where they hit a deer on the road
I was driving about 100kmph, and out of the corner of my eye I saw the elk sprint right in front of the car, then I slammed on the brakes, and just barely missed it!
What awesome scenery! That was a beautiful spot to take some shots, the majestic mountains and the pine trees... What a great place, the Rocky mountains really are gorgeous aren't they? Funny to think that they start all the way up there in Canada and extend all the way down to South America continuing as the Andes!
Elk are scary to almost collide with, they are absolutely huge! Glad your close call had a good result. Many people have been killed hitting one of them or a moose on the highway. I've even hear of people hitting deer bucks and having it come through the windshield antlers first killing the driver or passenger... Not to mention the idiots in rental cars who spend too much time staring at the scenery and not where they are going... Some national parks can be downright dangerous!
Awesome shots like always, I love that mountain divide, so pretty!
I'm lucky I was quick to react. That was my closest call to date on the highway. Imagine driving these roads at night (which I avoid at all costs)? It only amplifies the danger. Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome photo graphs, What about a GL1100cc Suzuki on that paved trail
That's waaaay too heavy...
Yeah tru dat, what about GS550 Suzuki
