San Juan Mountains in Summer

Cumbres & Toltec Railroad on the approach to Cumbres Pass in Lat Autumn

This must be like drinking a fine wine.  You can't stand the stuff but not drinking identifies you as a rube.

Don't be a Rube!  Here is another fine wine for your consumption.

Last night the Front Range west of Denver received a skiff of snow.  Early in the year but still a little of the white stuff to see this morning.

Tonight, the San Juans of Southwestern Colorado are to have measurable, but shallow, snow.  And, exactly where is Chama in relation to the San Juans?  10,015' Cumbres Pass above Chama is in the Tusas Range of the self same San Juan Mountains.

Three passes to cross tomorrow - snow - unlikely this time of year and if so the daytime temperatures in the 60's and low 70's will quickly melt it.

Temps in the San Luis Valley and Valley of the Rio Chama are predicted in the high 30's for the next few days.  Boys and girls, bring warm clothing it could be cold in a few weeks.

Then again, it is Colorado and New Mexico so don't try predictions and plan for anything.
