The headwaters of the Colorado River in Byers Canyon are quite high as the westbound Zephyr glides by on the opposite side of the canyon from the photographer. Even with the cover of the clouds, Byers Canyon look amazing.

In a lot of ways, this turned out to be one of my favorite shots of this particular day. The Zephyr certainly isn't an overpowering component in the shot, but that's okay. Just a nice, lazy day in the Colorado high country along the Colorado River!

The towering 14ers of the Rockies are many miles to the east now, but that doesn't mean the mountains are gone. In fact, the westbound Zephyr is still close to 7,000 feet above sea level!

The Zephyr makes its way through one of the numerous (too many to count) S-Curves along the Colorado River. The tracks actually follow the river for over 230 miles, from Granby, CO to Westwater, UT.

After winding through Gore Canyon, the Zephyr approaches a clear signal at the east end of the siding of Azure. This is looking down on the train from the location know as "Inspiration Point" along Grand County Road 1.
