Rist Canyon Drive
Apr 2nd, 2006 (Sun)
After cresting the top of Rist Canyon from the north, one is greeted by splendid views of the Rockies up and beyond all of the evergreen trees.
It was a sunny — though windy — afternoon, so Ryan and I went on an impromptu Sunday drive, al fresco of course, through the backroads of Rist Canyon just west of Fort Collins. The Alfa’s dual-overhead-cam engine purred rhapsodically as I double-clutched through the precise, long-throw transmission as we watched the evergreen-laden, snow-speckled scenery rush on by along the undulating road. Check out these photos, which right now are pretty sparse, but maybe Ryan will send me some more from her camera.

It has been over 60 degrees out here, but snow remains on the ground between the evergreen trees in shaded areas.
