A few miles west of Granby is this spot I've nicknamed the "Granby Overlook". It is a fantastic spot to get shots of westbounds. The later in the day the better as the sun, of course, continues to swing around to the west. Still, not a bad look at a colorful consist on the westbound Zephyr, the Continental Divide standing with minimal snow off in the distance.
