South Park



From the Florissant Fossil Beds we continued west on Highway 24 over Wilkerson Pass. We stopped at the South Park overlook to snap these pictures. What a view!! What exactly is South Park (besides the coolest cartoon to feature Colorado)? It's a huge Rocky Mountain basin that was once a freshwater lake at a time of local volcanic activity.

As we sped along Highway 24 over South Park, we saw the Collegiate Peaks approaching in the distance.
