We drove from Denver thru Independence Pass. The mountain views are simply amazing. Seeing the mountains on the East Coast don't compare to the Colorado Rockies.

We went over Independence Pass from Twin Lakes & vice versa on Tuesday June 4th. A lot of snow everywhere!

Unbelievable beauty. If you want the mountain experience, spend part of your day taking the independence pass. It's closed a good portion of the year, but if it's open, don't miss it.
