Have been making Golden Rocky Mountain road trips over last several years. This is from the longer gravel road entrance to North Clear Creek Falls at the Rio Grande headwaters area. The bluff in the background is of volcanic origins and a similar stratum creates the vertical drop for the nearby falls. some post work to compensate for midday bright sun, also, used a low ISO and polarizing filter to start compensation.

When you're off the map and off the grid, little signs and arrows are especially important for navigation. In this case, a small sign pointing us to our designated route had been plastered with various stickers, causing me to miss a crucial turn.
